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.
