Why are you removing that mount - looks like a tranny mount or engine mount welded to the body...If there is nothing wrong with it, work around it. Just my 2 cents worth...

For K series, you need to drill and bolt in a mount like the hasport kit in EF's, I believe...
![]() Sorry, I read B16A up top in 1st post and assumed thats what was going back in. If you are not using that mount, take a reciprocating saw (sawzall), cut it off, and then use an angle grinder to make mince meat of it. But, if you want to buy a new tool and do it the "right" way, drill it out like mentioned above. You can also just use a drill bit and drill out the weld points... EDIT - The above pic was to help point out where the weld points are where they were drilled out. Also, if you are going K series, thats a cool swap. A lot of work like working around headlights, brake lines, speedo setup etc, but very cool...

regarding welding that mount, the hasport mount is aluminum, the body is steel. I would make sure you weld the mount in with the right filler rod ensure you have enough weld penetration as that is a CRUCIAL mount.
Funny story - Back in the day, I had a CRX with a B16A swap in it, this was before the hasport days. Back then Brian Gillispe owned a junkyard called Honda Auto Salvage from where I got parts - Thats what HAS Stands for in HASport, kiddies. Anyways, the tranny mount was welded in for the B16A. I sold the car to a guy in Cedar Rapids, I think. He had it for a while and one day on the interstate, the damn mount broke and end result axle broke. So, he decides to inspect damage and forgot I had a cut valve cover when he grabbed the running engine by the sides to peek. His index and middle finger on the right hand got chewed to the bone - he sent me pics of the wounds, pretty disgusting - yet cool to see! Moral of story 1: Ensure the mount is welded in properly... ![]() Moral of the story 2: If you have a cut valve cover, don't grab engine on the sides when its running... ![]() __________________ 1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 #205/1000 |
