Cummins Engine Mount replacement 6BTA5.9

[David Banfield]

Time to start the fix up what others have left behind

Cummins Engine Mounts are looking a bit long in the tooth
2002 twin Engines

Is this a DIY job, any suggestions on how to and TIPS?

cheers

Thanks Rob

Good access all round so no issue there

Totally agree to do the seawater pumps

probably the start of a long list of improvements.

I am from the school of prevention, rather than having to repair in an emergency

cheers

How is the access on the outboard sides? Are the engine beds true and proper in that the current mounts are in plane without preload?

Not rocket science but definitely going to require someone good with tools and the general know how to think outside the box and get things done. As you can tell some of those will not simply “unscrew” so going to take some cut-off tool work, blocking under the engines for support, engine alignment at the end, etc.

Would also be a good time to deal with your seawater pumps.
