So is there any way to gauge how tight the FAM doughnuts should be? I can feel the engine vibrate or pulse within the mount. Should the mount just be tight enough to stop the "pulsing" and still not compress the new rubber doughnuts? Also, the bolts that come with the mounts are smaller diameter than the doughnut holes. Would it make sense to upsize the bolts to fit the holes snugly to give a firmer fit and minimize engine fore & aft movement?
