To calculate the maximum load for engine mounts, the following formula should be used:
Static Load: (Engine weight in kg ÷ number of supports)
Dynamic Load: (Engine horsepower x reduction of gearbox x 337) ÷ (centre to centre spacing of longitudinal engine mounts in metres x engine rpm)
Maximum Load = Static Load + Dynamic Load
