Anyone know mow much force is exerted on the upper mount? And how to measure or ensure it is reliable?
That's a good question Ron ... I was thinking of using a 1/4" plate on the engine side of the mount to re-enforce the mount, say 6" and the full width now. Just need to fix the header clearance now and then I can pull the engine ... again!

Any other ideas?
