  Subject: pass side engine mount change & injector seals


  Why is there no room to work in?
  Anyway, I have no Bentley yet, and I need to change the pass side engine
mount on my 88 16V.
  Does the lower timing belt cover need removed?
  Are there 2 or 3 allen bolts holding the mount bracket to the engine? I
only see 2, very oily, one loose.
  The mount is worn out so the upper timing cover nearly rested on the body.
  I have the front up on ramps right now, trying to figure out how to get
this done.
  I'm thinking of putting a jack under the oil pan, taking the wieght off
the mount, remove the big through-bolt, then lowering the engine down so I
can get to the bolts that hold the bracket to the engine.
  I wanted to know what all needs removed or whatever to get this mount
done.

  I also am going to try to do the inj o-rings and inserts. I have a FI
puller tool, for my 8V cars, but will it work on my 16V? I have the gasket
to to between the intake manifold halves....can the manifold stay on for
this inj seal replacment?

  I have a VC gasket too, but I'm more concrened with the engine mount and
o-rings now. Should I try them all at once, or what?

  Thanks for any help!
