I know for a fact the one motor mount(closest to the front of the van) is done as the motor flexes when you hit the gas. Not sure if this is the one your referring to. The last I checked after market ones were on backorder for months. I believe it is making at least one of the noises,not the main noise, I keep hearing especially when going over bumps. No worries, TurboNova was going to listen and give me his opinion on my sons Audi which is having issues as well. When the Honda started making its noise I asked him to take a listen to it as well. He has been extremely busy as well and hasnt had time to listen to either. I just want to make sure that if I decide/come up with money to do the maintenance on these vehicles, I am not doing it to a car thats obviously has a more major issue. I hope that trained ears can tell me if these noises sound like something serious or just an easy fix. If either of you guys become free just let me know thanks
I have done a significant amount of my own work despite no real training. Mainly doing things that are broke either way and I couldnt do any more damage. I have never screwed up a repair but the thought of damaging a vehicle that is otherwise running freaks me out. That and all the horror stories people have told me over the years of what could happen if the engine moves while the belt is off. I have rebuilt my own engines, swapped many trannys/engines, bolted on lots of parts but all of those things I had someone with me for the first of each. I have never taken a belt/chain off an interference motor, I have been told if it even moves a little the motor is then screwed. I know theres tools to align them but I wouldnt even know where to begin. As with every repair I have ever done, once completed I always say "what the hell was I worried about".
