Inserts suck for dailey driving.You can def. tell the difference but every thing rattles.....even after you pull them out.

I actually used both on my setup.. energy insert along with the 3m window weld in there too. With all 4 mounts done I've never had so many damn vibrations in a car in my life. It felt like they were solid, I could jack the car up from the engine and it wouldnt move. Eliminated all my wheel hop

I use them. They rattled bad at first but it's not so horrible anymore. I still have wheel hop

They aren't bad at all though. My mounts were SHOT before I put 'em in.

Me and my buddy made some solid steel motor mounts for his 520ci caddy engine in his 68 Ford Truck. I couldnt beleive it, but the thing hardly had that bad of vibrations, I was expecting the worst when it really wasnt to bad. Motor mounts for v8's are easy :P

Yes, I know I can fab some up.. but ---- I have some bad mounts laying out around someplace, If your trick works for the hondas.. is it worth my filling them up?

Then again, for the cost of that tube of window weld, I could probably buy the steel to fab the mounts.. I'll get to it when I get around to it.. maybe a writeup?

I say try the window weld on your old mounts Quadnie. I also have Energy suspension inserts. I bought them to get rid of hop and because one of my mounts was torn. Its a easy fix for an old fuct mount. I would imagine yould get alot more vibrations w/ the steel mounts then the poly-u. My only consern is that the motor would still twist some but not bad w/ the poly-Us. Just try it. If you dont like em, sell em on ebay!
