Ingalls Power Stick™ Pitch Mount For 2006 & Up Honda Civic SI
The Power Stick™ Pitch Mount is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering
for improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and
suspension, is a formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. The
innovative “dog bone” or pitch mount replacement eliminates the huge amounts of movement and “torque shock” that
causes wheel-hop and vague power transfer. The Power Stick™ transfers more power to the road and improves
acceleration, shifting, overall control and balance. The Power Stick™ can be used alone or in conjunction with
the Stiffy™ (P/N 93038).
This Power Stick™ is designed for high HP vehicles, built for extreme use or race only. It is NOT
recommended for the daily driver/street only vehicle. The stiffness of this mount will increase the transfer of
engine vibration and noise.
CAUTION: Observe proper safety and repair procedures for installation of all chassis parts. Some chassis parts require specialized tools and experience and
therefore MUST be installed by a qualified technician otherwise an unsafe vehicle and/or personal injury could result. Wear safety glasses and other protection.
WARNING: Before beginning, check for any damaged or loose suspension connections. Loose connections here indicate worn or broken parts which MUST
BE REPLACED. Failure to replace a damaged or worn spindle and/or link may cause the wheel to separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in serious
personal injury. Installer MUST check for proper clearance. Modification(s) may be required. Please proceed ONLY if the vehicle owner is completely aware of
these potential suspension modifications.
Estimated Installation Time: One Half Hour
Technical Rating: Easy
Kit
Includes: Tools Required:
(1) PowerStick™ Pitch Mount Metric and/or SAE Socket Set
Metric and/or SAE Open/Closed Wrench Set
Installation:
1. Locate the OEM “Dog Bone” pitch mount on the right side of the engine and remove the 3 bolts retaining the
mount in the vehicle (Illustration 1). Remove the OEM mount from the vehicle. Note: If your vehicle already has
the Stiffy™ (P/N 93038), you will need to remove the Stiffy™ engine bracket prior to removing the OE “Dog
Bone”.
2. On a table or workbench, assemble the PowerStick™ Pitch Mount. Note: There are left hand and right hand
threads on the center tube. If you try to thread the rod end or forging and it will not thread into the tube, turn over
the tube and try the other end. Some PowerSticks™ may be pre-assembled when you receive them. They may
not be set to the correct length though.
3. With the PowerStick™ assembled and the jam nuts loose, turn the center tube until the component is set to the
same length as the OEM part.
4. Install the Power Stick with the thicker portion of the bushing facing down (Illustration 2) in the OEM chassis
mount using the OEM bolt removed in step 1 of the instructions. Do not torque at this time. Tighten the jam nut
at the forged end using one wrench on the jam nut and another wrench on the flat at the end of the center tube.
Try to keep the rod end housing centered in the engine mount. You may have to try this a couple of times to get
it right.
