At the triangular block end. Is this common? Assume it may be as upgraded part is offered

Cracked engine mounts are more common that you'd think and sometime the giveaway is the sideskin around the exhaust primaries being slightly damaged as the engine moves. What engine do you have? I have got an off side spare one for a wet sump K series available.

Thanks T but have now replaced. Its a csr. I only noticed when bodywork came in to contact with exhaust. Was still held by 2 of the 3 bolts so had only dropped about 3/4 of an inch

To quote Tom Jones "it's not unusual" yes

Mine did once. Got picked-up by DPR Motorsport doing a pre-racing checkover. Quite common

It's just another 7 consumable

This happened on my original K series....also needed a new water rail as that had been "bent" as the engine had dropped and was weeping.
