Default Decided to order LORD mounts

After reading some more here on the forum, and after disassembly realizing that I could see sag in the old mounts, and that they were not LORD mounts, I decided to order new LORD mounts. I found a better price, and received another 5% off of my order while shopping at skygeek.com

Default Comparison Report

The Lord mounts just seemed to be the highest quality, especially in the rubber. Also the Lord mounts encase the center spacer in a very soft rubber with some kind of putty like filling. This inner portion then rides inside of the rubber pucks on the front and rear.
I can't say that I notice any difference in vibration between what I had prior and now with the new Lord mounts. It does appear that the design and materials though are superior to the less expensive mounts I had before.

Hi Scott! The ones on my cozy (1500 hours and 20 years) were replaced last year. We found the engine was sagging 3/4 of an inch.
