Hey guys,
Got the same problem with my U20, the thing rocks like crazy (side to
side). Of course I figured this out once I had already rebuilt the engine
and put it back in. (so much for luck and timing)
Is there a selection of mounts out there?
Is everyone using Original leftover stock mounts or do they have good new
repros?
Anyone have brand new mounts and recommend where to get them?
thanks,
