Picked up this piece at the Tri-State Swap Meet today....I see the Parts Place sells it and they say...."THIS IS A FACTORY PART THAT GM USED TO KEEP THE HEAT OFF THE MOTOR MOUNTS" Question is I haven't seen one of these installed on an Olds engine. Anyone have it on their car? What side does it go on or do you need one on each side? hmmmm I don't have a manage attachments button so the link hopefully works.

I have motor mounts shields on my 71 pretty sure on both sides.

 

Yeah, these are common, though I can't say which cars did or did not have them.

I have one on the pass. side of my 77. Looks different than the one pictured. Maybe it should have one on the driver too. Better check my CSM.

 

My 69 has them.

 

So I checked my CSM. No mention of any heat shields for the motor mounts. Or a least I didn't find anything.
My mount were only on the car for 600 miles. When I pulled the motor driver side rubber was cracked badly. The new ones from anchor were slightly different. They were less beefy at the bolt holes. I did some part number checking and deduced Anchor # was correct for a SBO and I had put on BBO 600 miles ago.
Now I am thinking a missing heat shield might have caused the premature deterioration.
Does someone know if there should be one? I don't have a parts manual to check for a listing.
As always, thanks for helping
Mike
