Glad to hear it worked out! Take the plug out of the chamber that was oil fouled in a week or so and see if it's got any oil on it. If it does, then you'll have to replace some seals (no easy task). If it's not, then my theory on the crankcase pressure holds water

smak: I should post pics of my old front engine mount sometime...the thing was demolished and almost ripped in half, like I was shocked it even held up the engine when my buddy took it out.

bubblez... I'm assuming the oil was above the threads on your spark plug? Tube seals are the thing. Leaking valve guides, stem seals, or rings would get oil on the firing tip of the spark plug. If the oil is outside, then after a couple weeks simply pull off the plug wire & look down into the hole. No need to remove the plug, just look for oil.

jmg... Make sure you got the right part. You SHOULD feel the plunger rattling on it's spring. Actually, if the old one moves around properly, put it back in. Is it possible they gave you a simple hose barb instead of a PCV valve?

Wow, I hope my engine isn't in any danger then. I thought the front mount being called the "torque" mount didn't really have much load on it cuz it was intended to flex with the engine or something to keep it from vibrating....guess i was wrong haha. I hope it lasts another year so i can just replace it when i go h22. Thanks for the heads up :thumbup:

Check that: it was this thing on the bottom of the side mount. I've never had the F or R mount replaced.
