[V8] Motor mount question

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Hey, spent 10 hrs today getting Lago back together and happy....It's  
amazing how easy everything is with that front end off.....I'd have  
to say today was one of my most enjoyeable mechanic events, as  
everything (but that crank bolt) was torqued low, and everything came  
apart/together relatively easy......The torn motor mount that was  
there had a good 1/4" of gap in it, and the used one I stole from  
Seamus(not stole) is in the pic, and there's about a 3/8 gap....I  
lifted the motor and while doing it, noticed a hairline crack in the  
passenger rear mount......I'm tempted to just shim up that front mount 
(so it won't just tear out). and the car ran juist fine as  
is....Anyone seen this before/is it normal.....Ex-Girlfriend did hit  
something at some point and am wondering if this slop is normal..  Tom
