How the hell did you do that?

The front single bolt came loose on me about a month ago which i though was strange but i dd not think too much of it just tightened it back up. when we examined the bolt it snapped when we removed everything we could see it was 1/2 broke and just snapped the rest of the way. so when the front bold snapped only the rear was attached. and when i launched i am sure the twist in the engine caused it to snap the rest of the way.
I have replaced the mount witn 3 new bolts and locktited them into the block so they should not come loose anymore. its probably more of a freakthing that it broke. and could be from he accident my ecotec swap car was in.........i should of checked that before i installed my motor but you know that something you never think of checking because how often does that break..........
but i do have Polly tranny mounts, lower engine mounts and control arm bushings. but i know ALOT of eco guys that are like that just like me... i have ordered a upper mount just to make sure everything else is solid to make sure it does not happen again.

Hmm @!#$ty Greg but at least you got it fixed
One of my bolts on my 2.4 is kinda iffy
I have a spare bracket i would like to get on before the Races
How hard is it to swap on the 2.4?
Darren i cannot see it being any more difficult than the Eco
i undid the lower engine mount and took off all the upper stuff.
Jacked up the engine as high as i could and there was enought room to remove all teh bolts and the right angle to stick a drill into the broken one. my front bolt came loose 2 months ago..........we found a strange clicking noise the day before the bash my dad just said if it breaks tow it home
it broke so it got towed home hahaha
did he flip the bill lol cause i would have blamed it on him
