Y not use wood for motor mounts its solid yet flexible. Or phone book chunks (they can stop knifes)
I'm sure those are stupid questions

gijoe69

why not you try it and find out see what happens

piranhamatt

Why not just go all out?



Seriously though, wood can rot, swell, crack, and deteriorate among other things. It typically does not belong on cars.

ryguy

Shit man, I would think wood would crack under the stress, plus the mix of heat, wood, and fluid probably isnt a great idea.

Well wood can take a good amount of compression but it would not be good for this type of purpose. Especially with the temperature changes, and hell if you get termites, say bye to your engine mounts lol

There are just so many things wrong with using wood for your engine mounts, do not do it.

Be sure to come back when the heat from the exhaust manifold sets your mounts on fire. You do realize that paper is flammable, right?

I hope his car catches on fire, and he is trapped inside when it happens.

It took a year for this guy to realize he was going to be a troll?

GTFO.

Oilcover

HI everyone,

Oilcover Racing is now accepting pre-orders for our
handmade wooden engine mounts. our mounts are
top quality, go thru a detailed inspection, and stained
with the finest finishes to ensure quality and performance.
they are also carefully hand-selected out in the forests
by our trained expert staff of gatherers.

painstakingly made in my garage with a band saw, no other
performance company can compare their mounts with ours.
in the Super Street engine mount shootout, our mounts passed
the 'floats in a bucket' 10 out of 10 times, which has never been done.

your levels of choice are:

balsa - lightweight, for motorcycles, karts, and lightweight vehicles
pine - our workhorse model. good for most racing applications.
maple - top performance, density, reliability. SCCA/IMSA/FIA legal.
mahogany - our VIP line of mounts.

prices starting at just 199/set. place orders now, and
expect orders to ship out the beginning of next month.

^Goddamn, I really wish we still had rep. Your posts are the greatest. lol


The only time wood has any place in an engine bay is when being used as a phenolic spacer for a carburetor.
