I'm planning my install of the m62 and I have everything I need except for I'm still not quite sure if the upper mount needs changed by looking at pics and at mine it looks like my mount is in the way of the new belt tensioner....? 2008 g6 idk if it's different from the balts but I doubt it.

 

Are you running the LSJ tensioner setup? It seem like it could hit, but when you get it installed youll see itll clear by an inch.

 

Yea lsj tensioner and idler setup... Really it clears? Seems like it uses a ho,e the tensioner needs...?

 

The LSJ tensioner is used with the LSJ alternator bracket. Do you have the alt bracket as well? Then your going to need 3 M8x1.25x125mm bolts to attach the alternator since the bracket spaces it out.

 

ok, I didn't know about the alternator bracket, I have the alternator but not the bracket....so I need the alternator bracket not the engine mount

 

Yeah try to find a used one. The dealer wants $125 for one. I picked one up on CSS a week ago for $55 shipped. If you have anymore questions lmk. I just switched to the LSJ setup last week. Also...your stock alternator should work...I used mine.

Also try to find the bolts at a hardware store if you can for $3 ea...they are $8 ea at the dealer.

 

picture of your mount?

 

I'll post pics tomorrow...I got the alternator in a package deal with my mani for 20 bucks so I'll be adding that. So bracket lsj tensioner and idler setup correct?

 

i literally just saw a post for an lsj that a guy was parting out. it was from a salvage yard where he works. he should have those parts. ill see if i can find it again.

found it. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/part...artout-271699/

I know this is an old post but I have a 08 Malibu I'm S/C'ing and I had to grind off part of the upper motor mount and part of the cylinder head so that tensioner would clear!

 

I removed the mount and also had to remove some material from the head.

 

When you say you removed the mount, did you swap it for a different mount or what? I've had success with grinding it down to clear the belt and the LSJ tensioner. Here's som pictures of when I started grinding before my dremel caught fire lol

 

I was running a TTR upper mount and it cleared fine so not sure on the stocker. When I said mount I meant the engine hook. I had to remove that and remove material from the mounting area for the LSJ tensioner to clear.

 

i had to cut that, pass the first bolt in order to clear for the belt.. just drill a hole in the middle and move the bolt. that what i did.. that was a pita!!!! get your sawzaw!
