poly engine mounts and vibration?

[D.K.]

I just road tested a turbo car today and it suffers from alot of engine vibration through the whole car. you can feel it through the steering wheel and the seat. The owner installed both poly mounts when he rebuilt the engine. Is this normal to have additional vibration????

Some, yes, naturally. Remember, the soft, squishy plyable rubber has just been replaced by the poly mounts.

Totally normal, you get used to it after a while.

Yeah, what he said. I may be pulling my RH poly mount and replacing it with a soft, squishy stock one.

I had more vibration when I installed my Poly mounts too. I just tightened the motor mount bolts a little more till the motor mount "Clamped" the frame mount. Less vibration now.
