I recently pulled a B18C engine and am ready to do a drop into a GSR shell. The problem is that one of the motor mounts (the top tranny mount - passenger side) is slightly bent out of shape. what can i use to heat it up and bend it back about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch. I don't have a cutting torch...is there anything else i could that'll work? thanks guys.

I can't picture the mount in my head, so I don't know how thick it is, but that sounds more like the job for a hydrolic press. Think how hot you'd have to heat it in order to bend steel. Try asking a metal shop teacher @ a technical college (around here they'll do favors for the public) or just take it to a shop. hope this helps

buy a new one, bending shit back into place that is not supposed to be bent in the first place is no good
well thats my opinion anyways

Anyone know a place online where i could just get one new? It's been tough trying to find one at a decent price if any. Thanks.
