Hi guys.
Have a mighty boy with f8b. Had motor our for about 6months just dropped it back in.
Think i got it wrong with mounts and I dont think rear mount is correct (just looks like a front mount)
And not sure if it matters which way up the mount goes.
At idle everything shakes so I know something is up.
Heres some pics
Any input appreciated

Thanks

Correct, your rear mount is a bottom mount. It makes little (if any) difference, except for tilting the engine forward by 5mm or so. The new mounts will allow vibrations into the body until they wear in a bit.

have u checked to see if the mount is being squashed or whatever so the metal part is touching the metal part?

maybe just check that the top mount (pictured) that goes to the fire wall is not push hard one direction (gap both side's of the mount in the rubber)
