Make sense.
But if it is a vibration issue we just need to change how the engine
vibrates. So my suggestion is if you want to find out if vibration is the
problem take a piece of rope that has some give and tie it to the intake
manifold and then hook it to the winch on the ceiling. Use that Gomer setup
to take some weight off the engine mounts and change the vibration pattern.
See if that fixes the problem. If this work it is my idea. If you tear the
winch off the ceiling and it dents up the car you heard it from Montana
Bob. Plus I don't think you can throw a winch all the way to WA.
-g or Bob depending on the outcome
