<DIV>An extreme example of engine vibes. At the lab we had test stands fitted with large truck engines (Mack, Cummins, Cat) that ran industry standard lube tests. These things are 6 cyl, around 350 Hp and 1000 LB/ft torque and ran flat out. Someone solid mounted them to ensure driveline alignment. Nothing could keep them from breaking the mount adapters, which went from 3/8" to 1/2" to 3/4" steel. Eventually stock (soft) engine mounts were fitted and never broke again. We then spent a lot of time fixing broken (6" dia) exhaust pipes. Sound familiar?</DIV>
