Picture request, motor mount as installed
Doing an oil change today, looking at the motor mounts and sure look like they are both sitting on metal to metal. Rubber is in place but I don't see any real support from that. Would really like to see a picture of a good mount in place and working. Maybe I'm not seeing it right? Looks like a (not so) fun job to change - but I am a little particular about the car. This is a V8 engine on my 88.

Mount should be a 'clamshell' that bolts to the block, that goes over the frame-side mount. Frame side is basically a tube thru a rubber vibration isolator, capture between two pieces of steel. Can you post a pic of what you are looking at?

Be a while before I can get back under there. Looks like a metal rail on each side of the rubber and the rails are making metal to metal contact, doesn't look right to me. Bear of a job to replace, want to be sure that what I'm looking at is what I think it is.
