Check the rear exhaust pipe near cylinder number 4. The Dansk pipes are not
bent quit right and they tend to hit the rear carrier bar. New mounts help
for only a short time. Getting the bar out of the way and using a big hammer
to dent the pipe to make room is the fix.

Neil,Tell me about your motor mounts. Problem? Symptom of problem? Plan of
attack?I started getting a new "whack" when I start the engine. Like
something was hitting that hadn't before.Inspecting the 4 in back and
transmission mount doesn't really tell me much -- can't see enough. Just
interested in your issue. I searched "motor mount" and wasn't able to find
help.
