So I noticed my motor was sitting crooked. Its currently leaning downward on the passenger side. I found the rear mount (tranny) was busted (rubber cracked from one side to the other) so I went to the dealer and got a new one. It was a PITA to get in but I made it happen. After getting everything bolted back up I lowered my jack that was supporting the engine and to my surprise the engine was till crooked.
So the next day I unbolted the 3 bolts on the passenger side mount and after the last one came out the whole mount was loose. I found it was not even bolted to the engine. After getting it all the way out I found 2 of the 3 bolts that mount on the block are broken, inside the block. The third i have no idea where it went... Has this happened to anyone before? If so how did you get them out? Access is very limited. I don't see it being possible without removing the motor. What do you guys think? -------------------- |

The broken bolts will either be a PITA to remove or they will be extremely easy. If the thread is relatively straight and clean then they will come out by hand.
Ive worked on a celica that had been in a front collision which had the same problem as yours. It was a 7a-fe and the bolts on the passenger-side motor mount had ripped out of the engine block(head?) and took chunks of the block with them |
