Frame sliders

[Jet Li]

Probably a stupid question but I'd rather ask than have a mishap!

When you take out the upper engine mount bolt, will the engine drop down or are there other bolts holding to support enough that the engine will not shift position?

Also, one slider has a much longer bolt than the other, which goes on which side?

 

[BiG-T]

Long bolt right side.

Thanks BiG-T

Here is another stupid question. Is the Right side the right side as you look at it from the front or when you sit on it?

Anyone know the answer to this one?

How tight do you tighten the bolts with the sliders?

Is there a recommended torque?

Is goodntight enough?

It's in the service manual.

The engine won't move, but it's best to put a floor jack under the oil pan and just put slight pressure on it to relieve pressure off of the bolts.

Engine won't move. There are 2 big-a$$ bolts in the rear of the motor holding it up. They are about 12" long; going all the way thru the frame.

 

[Busarookie]

And U can always reduce pressure mounting one side at a time...

40 ftlbs is what my manual said

I saw that first pic and just went WTF! Then read on...Funny!

OK, where do you mount them if that is too high.
