This is a solid Delrin (Acetal) motor mount for the Toyota 1MZ-FE engine.
The stock mount shown below, like that of many vehicles, is hollow and barely able to handle stock levels of power, and is prone to failure when the supporting mods increase the power numbers. Many people stiffen the mount by filling the mount with Polyurethane. While filling it does help, many have experienced the mount still failing after a time. With this solid mount, not only with the mount not fail, but the shifts will be much crisper. There may be a small amount of added vibration on a car, but when pressing the gas pedal, the car is much more responsive, as the motor does not lose as much torque into the mounts.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Installation takes about 90 minutes, with floor jacks, a socket set, and a press to remove the old mount. The mount does not include the mounting bracket, only the insert replacement.
This is a replacement for 12371-0A030 and other versions of similar mounts.
Delrin (Acetal) motor mounts, transmission mounts, and bushings are each machined from a solid blocks, and have either Stainless Steel or Aluminum bushings fit into the mounts to act as a point of contact for the connecting bolts when required. Delrin is an extremely strong and stiff plastic. It is commonly used in place of metal in applications where metal can not be used (magnetic, corrosion, or conducting / insulating reasons). These are much stiffer than polyurethane mounts, and it will not give or wear out. Delrin mounts should never need to be replaced, unlike the stock units which are usually considered a wear item.
Delrin mounts minimize the jumping or twisting of the motor under the hood. This movement is caused by the rotating mass of the crankshaft and transmission components. With stock mounts, the engine will twist itself in the engine bay when the throttle is opened, or during high-speed shifts. Over time, this force will destroy the stock rubber mounts. When this happens, the rubber may split or rip, allowing the engine to potentially move inches back and forth. This can destroy CV joints, other mounts, and create wheel-hop.
With our mounts, shifts will be much crisper. While pressing the gas pedal, a vehicle is much more responsive; as the motor does not lose as much torque twisting into the mounts.
At a price usually less than that of inferior stock mounts, these are not only a great performance item, but a bargain for each application.
