Engine Mounts - New Service Parts
Article No. 85-11-7ENGINE MOUNTS - FRONT - NEW SERVICE PARTS WITH COMMON STUD SIZE - 5.0L ENGINE
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1982-84 CONTINENTAL, 1982-83 MARK VI, 1984 MARK VII
Figure 4 - TYPICAL FRONT ENGINE MOUNT:
The studs attaching the front engine mounts to the No. 2 crossmember were 12 mm diameter on 1982-84 model vehicles. However, on 1985 model vehicles, the stud size was increased to 14 mm. Service replacement mounts will have the larger 14 mm studs. In order to commonize the service replacement mount for crossmembers with 14 mm or 12 mm holes, the No. 2 crossmember hole will require modification on 1982- 84 model vehicles. When hole modification is required, use the following procedure. See Figure 4.
