Engine mounting – Checking
condition of resilient mounts
1. Measure height setting (b) with feeler
gauge.
2. Measure dimension (a) with calipers.
3. Calculate permissible value of dimension
(a), considering the measured value of
height adjustment (b):
• Reference values: The permissible value
of dimension (a) is 144 mm when (b) =
5 mm.
• When measured height setting (b) =
6 mm, the permissible value of (a) is
145 mm.
• When measured height setting (b) =
4 mm, the permissible value of (a) is
143 mm.
4. Replace the resilient mount, if the meas‐
ured value of dimension (a) is lower than
the permissible value.
