While doing a re and re on the mounts, noticed this. Previous work had a smaller spacer at the top end of the front motor mounter. This resulted in the fiber washer being jammed down into the mount housing, and the metal washer pressed hard against the mount. I would think the dampening properties of the rubber mount would have been negated. So I got the proper spacer (see pics) but now the metal washer seems to sit really high. Is this correct?
