Hey all, Well, I guess the strange noise coming from the rear was not a failing engine mount at all but instead it was the air conditioning compressor mount torquing. I adjusted it today to make the belt a little tighter and it seems to have fixed the problem, i.e. no more weird noise. I suspected it might have had something to do with me just being under there. Anyway, in a/c news, we began to charge my compressor with freon today and eventually the compressor decided to squeal and smoke so it appears to be soon dead. No a/c this summer, I guess. Well, at least I still have that nifty fan for a nice breeze :) . I also blocked off the gaping hole in my tin as best I could, seems to be holding together, we'll see how it goes. I hope it sticks together ok. Gotta go, big thuderstorm, Sean
