Leading evidence: 'Replace with oem' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace with oem' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

How would you guys solve this? I have rennline adjustable motor mounts. Problem is that the square torque nut for the mount is smaller than the carrier. Thus, they feel loose. The motor moves a half inch or so, and it's not good. The carrier is alloy, so I cannot weld that at the moment. Outside of getting a new carrier and sleeving it to solve the overarching problem, I'm not sure how to go about this.
Thoughts?
Once the nut is tightened to the specified torque it will no longer matter that the square on the engine mount is slightly smaller than the square in the engine carrier.
So the solution is to torque it to spec and feel for the torque to rise steadily when you turn the nut till reaching the final value.
Contacting rennline is a good suggestion.
Agreed, not really adjustable perse. They have 3 different bushings you can swap out depending on what stiffness you want. But, removal of mounts is required to do so. No biggie.
Yes, have done that. It is a strange issue. I will contact them for sure.
Yes, agreed. I plan to this week.
Yes, but, I went through a set of OEM before quite quickly after my motor swap. These are much stiffer, for obvious reasons. I will say, if you don't want to feel every vibration, leave the factory ones there.
If I remember correctly, Jake, our resident 996 guru, highly recommends not using semi-solid engine mounts due to the vibrations that throw off the engine tuning (I think the anti-knock sensors). You actually lose engine performance because the DME "de-tunes" the engine to protect it. OE mounts are the way to go...
Formerly resident 996 guru, but, yes. They have dyno proof of hardened motor mounts causing the DME to pull timing. On youtube. But folks will keep putting them in anyway.
