  Q: Should engine mounts be replaced immediately if they are broken or deteriorated on Honda Civic?

  A: Engine mounteds do not demand service often, although broken or worn mounts must be replaced as soon as possible as additional stress is placed on the others parts of the drive line which will cause further damage or wear. During the check the engine has to be lifted to take the weight off the mounts and subsequently the transmission. Lift the car and securely support it on jack stands, then place the jack under the engine oil pan, and put a large piece of wood between the jack head and the oil pan and get the engine just off the mounts. Check for cracks, hardening or separation between mount insulators and metal in the center of the mount. To check relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame is noticeable, use a large screwdriver or pry bar; if so, lower the engine to remove any relative movement and then tighten the mount fasteners. Remove the cable in a way that you unplug it from the negative terminal of the battery. Whenever replacing the lower torque rod the vehicle must be lifted on jackstands with the body weight supported on jackstands and engine should also be supported in addition to the above requirements. The fasteners must be unscrewed next; then lift the engine using the jack; take the mount off the frame bracket and the engine. Place the new mount in its bracket and then put the fasteners and tighten then firmly . Disconnect the air filter housing and the PCM, then, disconnect the PCM as well as the air filter housing bracket mounting screws to release the bracket. Place the transaxle on the jack, undo the Transaxle mount bolts and pull out the mount. Installation is the process of doing the opposite of removal, where mount fasteners have to be tightened to the required torque.
