4g rear engine mount

chrismc · Post by **chrismc** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 11:14 am

Has anybody got a decent pic of a 4g rear engine mount or can do some investigative work for me?

I have ES mount inserts fitted to front & rear of my BB1 track car, & a Strongflex front mount insert in my ATR.

The ES kit for the Prelude rightly includes front and rear mount inserts as these are the 'torque' positions on the H22A.

However, try as I might, I can't find rear inserts for the Accord!!! Pretty sure the rear mount is tired as I can still feel gear-lever movement on/off throttle (front had previously torn & was close to total failure!)

The accord rear mount looks like this (my spare!) standard 3 bolt setup:

Pretty sure the 4g is pretty similar if not the same but don't want to go tearing my track car apart to find out- rear mounts aren't the most pleasant of jobs at the best of times!!

Don't want to fill my mount as its irreversible

Any help much appreciated!

Chris

I think I have a spare rear from an atr if its any use to you?

The pic above is my spare thanks Phil- just want inserts for it.

Pretty sure the 4g/5g VTEC rear pattern is close enough that it can be adapted...

My prelude one is filled but I can take a pic side to side!

Have a look in the black jdm profile thread linked in my signature. I took some pics during fitment of the ES inserts. Might be of help?

the 4th gens ones do look very similar except the atr ones has a bit more rubber at the foot of it....dont know about bolt hole pattern but again does look very similar.
here is a pic of 4th gens ones - one polyfilled and the other OEM

you might have to cut the extra bit of rubber off at the base of the oem rubber insert or cut a notch in the es poly mount but it looks close enough to say it should work

Top stuff- as I thought! Cheers gents. Most helpful

Having already put a set in the BB1 I know just what a difference they make.

Fitted the front insert in the ATR & have to say I was slightly disappointed- but then it was only half a job.

The condition the front mount was in makes me think the rear must be well past its best too. The continued hint of gear lever movement lends itself to that. They do take some stick- & even the ATR is 14yrs old now

Already vibrates at idle- so not really anything to lose in that respect! Worth it for the improvements in the drive

Will get a set of Prelude inserts then test fit/trim to suit my spare mount

hope it works out - might be of use to other ATR owners

Cheers.

I know of only 1 guy who has half filled his rear mount. Everyone else seems to fill/poly the front but the rears are ignored.

The PITA to-do factor + extra vibes no doubt discourage most
