How many of you have done this, how long did it take, was it worth it, I am going to help my buddy put his in next week when it gets here.

I did it. It's great! Took like 30 minutes.
I have air tools though. Get a big breaker bar otherwise!
Don't forget to lift the engine to take the weight off the through bolt. Don't jack under the oil pan of course.

While you are at it. Get a tube of urethane and a caulking gun and fill the other 3 mounts.

It only took me about 45 minutes without air tools or a breaker bar. I guess my bolts weren't as tight as Demon's? Anyway, it's definitely a good thing, and keeps the engine in check much better. Probably saves having to buy new mounts as soon too. Worth the small amount of time and money for sure.

BTW, I used a 2x4 between the jack and the oil pan to lift the engine a bit. Sounds like this may not be advisable, but I had no problems. Also, remember to use the jack to adjust the height of the engine when you're trying to get the mount back in there. Makes things much easier.

Well I have air tools and a cherry picker, so I don't have to worry about lifting the engine from below, so it is really easy to do.

well we got it in, took quite a while probably an hour and a half, most of that time was talking to sam and Hiatt to make sure which mount it was, and then we couldn't fit my Heavy Duty Mac Tools jack under the contour, so we had to use the scissor jack and then use mine, then it was a pain in the ass to get that little bracket out of the holes, once we got it out, we put it back in in about 15 minutes, it was a pain to get the bolts to line back up with the bracket and the holes, launches a little better, not as much wheel hop, not as big a difference as on my car, which has three motor mounts to install.
