Is anyone using a hydraulic mount set up in their diesel and care to show their design? Thanks

Hydraulic pump mount? Or are you talking an actual hydraulic engine mount?
If it's the latter, I've not heard of somebody doing this on a rover engine, though it doesn't seem difficult, presuming you keep the resultant driveline angles within tolerance and the driveshafts don't interfere with the chassis and the transmission mounts aren't overstressed and you have no clearance issues with the valve cover and the bulkhead.--Mark

A few weekends ago I got into a long chat with a Mechanical Engineer that works on Nuclear subs, who is also a gear head. I mentioned the thought of the Hydraulic engine mount for an offroad diesel and he was not terribly keen on this tactic. To be frank I cannot recall all the details as I am not up on my fluid dynamics. However it was his opinion that a larger front crank flywheel would do more to smooth out a diesel engine, especially at idle.Comment
