gasket under engine mount towers?

Post by wibble_puppy »

ello chaps 8)

Is it sensible to put some sort of gasket or v thin padding foam under the engine mount towers when bolting them back on to the floor of the engine bay? to protect the paint of the engine bay?

grateful for advice :D

No, I would just use grease, underbody wax or seam sealer, foam may trap moisture and encourage future rusting.
