Step 3: Align supplied chassis bracket over the chassis side mount for the dog-bone (the chassis bracket has the
Ingalls I logo) after you have placed another one of the supplied spacers over the hole where the factory hardware
was installed for the dog-bone. Install supplied bolt and lock nut through the additional hole in the dog-bone mount
and Ingalls Stiffy™ bracket (Arrow B) and align primary hole with the factory dog-bone bolt (Arrow C). Tighten
hardware to no more the 15 ft-lbs.
Step 4: Place supplied spacer over the hole on the factory engine mount (same point that OE bolt was removed from
Arrow D). Reinstall factory dog bone in stock mounts; do not reinstall OE hardware at this point. Place supplied
Ingalls engine bracket over the spacer and stud and innermost bolt hole for the dog-bone. Using the supplied bolt and
OE dog-bone bolt, align and then tighten engine-mounting bracket (Arrows E). Reinstall OE hardware on the chassis
side of the dog-bone engine mount and the remaining bolt on the engine side of the dog-bone. Torque hardware to
OE specifications (please consult Honda for these specifications as these figures can change periodically).
Step 5: Align Stiffy™ between the two installed brackets, adjust length by loosening the 17mm jam nut on the
preload/length adjustment end of the Stiffy™. Once the heim joints line up with the holes (one on each bracket) use
supplied hardware to install the Stiffy™ (see Arrows F). The hardware should be oriented as follows: bolt, washer,
Stiffy™ heim joint, rubber o-ring, bracket, and nut. Torque bolts to no more than 35 ft-lbs. Do not tighten length
adjusting jam nut to more than 35 ft-lbs.
Notes:
Proper use and fitment of the rubber O-ring helps dampen additional road noise or “feel” that can be transferred through the damper
assembly. The O-ring should be used between the Stiffy ™ heim joint and bracket for optimal noise suppression. Dynamat or other
damping materials, as used in aftermarket audio and in-car electronics industries, can also be used to provide further noise and
vibration damping when used between the brackets and the surface they mount on.
DO NOT attempt to adjust Stiffy ™ from its pre-set stiffness without consulting the Ingalls website. Large open-end wrenches are
required to adjust stiffness (27mm). Most standard and mechanics tool kits do not include these types of wrenches.

This image shows how the Stiffy™ should look
after installation. The brackets should be
aligned so that the Stiffy™ is parallel to the
valve cover. If need be, you can use spacers or
washers to ensure that the Stiffy™ will be
properly aligned. Make sure however that the
rubber o-ring is against the heim joint for noise
suppression.
