Obviously, with the new eng side mount, there are no cuts like the used tired one.
And because of the way this mount is holding the engine, you will notice significant drop in eng position once the mount gets tired.
Even without any load, the eng mount holder is about 8mm off so once installed, probably more than 10mm drop.
Not good….
No wonder why I didn’t see big movement when I removed the mount.
I saw several aftermarket mounts design but without knowing the correct geometry and how the eng/gbox are mounted against the sub frame and chassis frame, not much point in using them.
All four mount bolt/nut loosened and waiting to be tightened in the specific sequences.
Keep cleaning the mating surface of the valve cover gasket…… So much oil and why so much black liquid gasket…..
