I've noticed that the #2 exhaust pipe has been contacting the lower cowl during flight or under high power settings. Suspect the engine may be sagging a little. The mounts have less than 300 hours on them although they've been subjected to turbulence. I either need to replace them but will check with the group and a local IA when he's available. These are the recommended J-7402-24 for the O-360. The 370 weighs a little more than the 360 and is rated at 195 HP @ 2700.
-Update: Lord specs indicate that dimension A should be more than .75" thick and 4 of my insulators were less than that. At least one measured .68". Lord tech support recommended J-7402-20 which are stiffer and also used on the Extra 200. I've installed the new mounts and the engine seems less "wobbly".
