Im installing the alternator bracket and the tensior pulley on it is hitting the motor mount.. Did i need the LSJ motor mount? I read quite a few threads seems no one else had this problem.

 

some people IIRC had to grind a bit on the 2.2s

 

damn maybe i do then, it would be more than a little bit though. More like alottabit

 

You installing the correct way?

The only thing you should grind is the head where the tensioner PULLEY comes in contact.

Get a picture?

 

No pic sorry, I have the 2005 and i looked up other peoples motor mounts and mine is way bigger. I know im installing it right ive looked at tons of pictures and my alternator bracket tensior pulley is hitting the motor mount bracket thats on the engine. I think i need the other motor mount or i need to cut mine way down.

 

Try new mount before cutting IMO

 

pics please

 

Yep found a post defintely gotta by the update motor mount i cut mine and the belt rubs on it.

 

On my ion I had to cut the entire third bolt off that motormount iirc. Doesn't really affect anything, just the cost of doing business!

 

yea i did that and it still rubs so i ended up getting the bracket and motor mount that i needed for $50

 

O.o

 

I'm kinda late to the discussion but yes the motor mounts on the 05-06 base models do not work with the sc set up. 07+ is a different style and works fine
