when I think back on it it was probably a torque issue. I torqued that S.O.B. down pretty hard and without using a torque wrench or with any idea WHAT the torque spec could have been.

but other than that, having someone tow the car 50kms bouncing up and down on a highway then on rural roads, with a STIFF engine mount was the thing that did it in, without allowing the bolts to move to much it just ripped in half. I didn't put it on backwards.
