Hydraulic Engine Mount Opened



Hey Everyone,
I just did the hydraulic mount on my recently purchased R53 and I was curious so I opened up the top of the mount.
I thought someone else here might find it mildly interested to see what it looks like without the metal.

what about the bottom half?

also, these things are designed to fail. the poly insert on the top is the only way to go.

that looks 'ok' - I don't see any goo leaked out. Also PSA - when you put that long bolt back in - put anti seize on it. I had one seize up, and had to cut the bolt head off down on the rail. it was not fun.
