Ok, I got one mount out. The rubber looks and feels solid. It also looks very close to the civy chevy k30 mount I bought from Oreiliy's, but the civy mount is about a 1/2" longer and the bolt holes do not align with the old mount. With that said, does this look like the old mount is the...

You sure the autozone number is 353700?? I tried it on their website and it brings up a power steering line...? I tried the energy suspension number also 3.11168 on google, but only came up with 3-1116G? I tried this number on autozone and came up with this energy suspension motor mount, does...

Thats what I figured... didn't know it was a different year, but I was just looking at these mounts that are currently on the truck, although they looked exactly like the mounts I bought from orielley yesterday, looking from underneath the truck, they don't look right. They only have one bolt on...

Here is a question... Does the CUCV M1008 6.2L engine use the same motor and transmission mounts at the Civilian Chevy K30 6.2L engine?

:mrgreen: np, I haven't torqued any of the head bolts yet anyway... took waaaaay longer in town today than what I had planned... that's what happens when other people go with you... Then this evening I've been trying to fix my leaking floor jack, as it got to the point it couldn't even pick...

Yeah I figured out what you were trying to say later, just didn't know what you meant at that moment. I knew you weren't saying the heads were 3 ft lbs, but rather was asking what were you referring to without typing out the whole question. So are you saying that you did find that there was...

I don't blame you one bit for wanting to work on the motor in a comfortable position. Like they always say "work smarter not harder"... I always seem to do the opposite of that though... And Yes, it would have been better to pull the motor. But I just don't have a much $ right now, so I was...

Yeah, at this point, I wish I had just went ahead and pulled the engine. If I had a cherry picker I probably would have pulled it, but I could still have done it with a come-along and then rolled the truck out from underneath it back outside. Oh well now...

I might just take your suggestion Rich, that would be better than trying to bend over the fenders. We did get the driver side head sit in place, so I may not do that side. And yes the booster is a pain to work around, but I really didn't want to take all that off. Will be checking all mounts...

:doh: I can't believe I didn't even think about the motor mounts... That could definitely be the issue. Thank You for pointing that out Cucvrus. As far as noise, no hadn't heard any knocking chattering or anything that you would expect with bad mounts. I also had not seen any "extra" movement...

Yeah, oreily is supposed to have me another gasket in the morning, at least better than 3 days from amazon. Just a 60 mile round trip... I was using one old bolt with the head cut off and slot cut in it, as an "alignment guide pin". I had two of them, but I could only use one in the front...

well I screwed up the gasket trying to get the head aligned... so now it'll be another few days until i get another gasket in

GM torque spec that I found on another site: Cylinder Head (3 steps) 20 / 50 / +90 degrees...... :roll:

hadn't thought of that, I'll look it up [thumbzup]

But how are they evenly tightened if they are not the same torque spec? 3ft lbs? Yeah I know you can't reuse tty head bolts. I have two sets of all new fel-pro head bolts. Getting ready to install the heads today, which is why I'm pondering the torque specs.

Ok... this might be a dumb question... but why on earth does the TM list the head bolts ("cap screws" :roll:) torque specs at: 1st round 20lbs - 2nd round 50lbs - 3rd round 1/4 Turn! What??!! :shock: I've never seen a head bolt that wasn't specifically torqued to a predetermined spec. "1/4...

Thanks for the info Ken [thumbzup] I don't have any gauges yet, but I have been looking at some. I plan on adding at least oil pressure and water temp, as I have always been weary of just the idiot lights ever since we got this truck. I should have added them back then, but no time like the...

Appreciate the advice Rusty [thumbzup]. And Yes I have the Fel-Pro Perma-Torque head gaskets, so I won't use it on them then.

Is there a good location on the engine to add a oil pressure sending unit and temperature sending unit, in order to add Actual Gauges inside the cab instead of just relying on the idiot lights??
