Alright, here is the report on the new engine mount. It has drastically changed the driving experience. Power is more direct. The clutch engagement while not perfect is quite a bit better. Things seem a bit more solid in general which is just a good feeling. However, you also feel a lot more from the engine... This is a good thing IMO, but its bringing to the surface additional issues because I can feel more. I can now feel the misfiring in lean burn at not just 75 mpg, but its pretty much there all the time now. At higher mpgs, its less noticeable, but it is definitely there. The surging I only felt here and there during acceleration is now more pronounced and happening a lot more than I first thought as well. I'm hoping the two are related, but I'm not really sure where to start. I'll be doing some googling to see if there is any info on IC. Suggestions are quite welcome.
