This could be why I had so much trouble getting the new engine aligned.

If it was hitting the pan it might have been what you were fighting against for sure, and would possibly explain how it got against there since you never knew. The two main mounts are really the supporting members of the engine, this third small mount I think was more of another aid for vibration dampening than anything else. If you want to replace it or see what it used to be origionally I can still get you a pic. Too bad the engine I'm running now had a crushed oil pan from its former life crash, otherwise I'd have had a spare for you. Had to put the pan and pickup tube on this one from my old 616 engine.
