Or... Another weak spot on the car?
I could hear the engine moving in the car and could see it in the rear view mirror slightly. Checked the motor mount bolts to the block and they were OK. Checked the long bolt connecting the upper piece to the lower piece.
It was OK.
Hmmm.... so I took the upper piece off completely and then I found myself wondering why the lower piece was moving. I found the problem.
Sigh.... Time to do some welding, but I find the methodology of mounting it this way pretty poor... Any movement 'up' of the engine puts a bending moment on this piece with those three little bolts hanging on for dear life.
FWIW,
Kirby
