Re: Belt Replacement 4000 - 4cyl



I'm not an expert on the 4K, but on the Fox the front "motor mount" simply 
limited the amount the engine would rotate from the torque applied to the 
wheels.  (I remember once the dealer had forgotten to tighten it after a 
service and the crank pulley would hit the oil pan protection grate!)  If 
you have motor mounts on the left and right side of the engine (and prob-
ably one at the back of the transmission, it is probably not necessary to 
support the front of the engine.  Safe is always better than sorry though!
