Had the front engine mounts replaced. they were hooped allowing engine to flex up under load. Believe not rubbing anymore.

Seems he is ill and may not be producing these anymore or is on hold for awhile....I was about to install my freshly done IC's and was like...Wait a minute.....Don't want those getting scuffed up....Perhaps just remove liner for now
