That adjustment could get really squirrel.
First you got an old part everyplace you look.
I just let mine scrape (8 years now); true its eventually going to wear
through.
This is the first time in 8 years that I've had 4 new motor mounts at the
same time.
It quit scraping ................ true. I think that it will be
temporary.
