From page FF1-5 of the plans... Gordon, the J-3804-20 spacer is supposed to float around inside the J-3804-20 durometer, but may be contacting the inside wall of the durometer? I'll check again to see if there are signs of that happening. Another possibility that I just thought of is that if the hole in the WD-1001 motor mount that the AN7-26 bolt passes through has too much play, then the bolt itself could be rattling in there? The bolt was torqued to ~40 ft. lbs. according to Section 5V. The engine has been hung on the mounts for roughly a year and the engine has about 50 tach hours on it, so hoping it is not because they are old. -Sean > Gordon > September 4, 2014 at 12:55 AM > > Hi Sean, If the mounts are old and sagged, or the assembly is off > center, additional movement from shutdown vibration can cause the bolt > sleeve to knock against the inside bore of the mounts.

Found that the through bolt was not tightened/torqued properly. Torqued the bolts on all four mounts and never had the problem again.

The spacer and durometers should be clamped as a rigid stack to the engine mount by the bolt if properly torqued. When the engine shakes the durometers deform in shear, allowing the dynafocal engine mount boss to move laterally. There should normally be enough clearance, but if the elastomers are already deformed when static this clearance can be used up. Another thought - perhaps the stack could be loose if the nut is torqued up onto the runout of the bolt thread. I ran into this problem on one of my mounts and added another washer under the nut to prevent it. Gordon On 04.09.2014, at 15:06, Sean Stephens wrote: > > I'll check the mount again.

It was indeed because the nut torqued on the bolt thread runout. Added a washer and problem solved. No more knocking. If we ever cross paths I owe you a cold one.
