    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I took my engine out last night and the front mount bushings look pretty much shot.

They are fluted and about one third of the diameter has the fluting flattened.
The rest of the mounts are solid so this makes me ownder if these rubber mounts really do anything.

There are 8 solid points and 2 with the bushings. They seems to be rubber but ar enow as hard as rock.

Still available for 12 bucks ( a good range of interchange )

So who knows are they supposed to be this hard and if so will new ones signifiganly smooth out the minimal vibration of an inline 4?

I have one in my hand. Perhaps they are just a fancy spacer. They smell fainly of cooked rubber.

I may just buy them for the hell of it.

Yep. Those are definitely rubber bushings. Id get new ones because they act like a spacer and fill the mounting hole. Why not, right?
 
At $7.54 each from Boulevard I would,especially if they looked bad.
