The left side fins on the bottom of the case are well below the crossmember and the right side fins disappear up behind the crossmember. Given all that, I'm sure it's just you. The old local VW guy told me when he smogged my van the first time that the mounts were busted. He said most of the mounts he'd ever seen on that kind of setup eventually broke on the side opposite the engine rotation.

I was nosing around ebay and looked the pics of this 89 westy. Looking at that shot of the underside....is it just me or is that engine listing heavily to port? Is it just an optical illusion exacerbated by the camera being tilted, or are those left side motor mounts toast? <*http://tinyurl.com/zk6t7>* -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
