Default motor mount question

stupid question I'm sure... but is the motor mount supposed to come off the engine as two pieces?

Hi MS,
No, the two metal parts of the original style mount are bound (vulcanized?) to the thick rubber bushing that is part of the mount.
Regards,
Alan

Mine came off easier in 2 pieces than it went back on in 1 piece.

Yup, Alan nailed that correct, again.

Looks like the OP's mount functioned as designed: delaminated yet held the motor to the frame, just as the engineers knew that it would.

When I was running the blower on mine, the left motor mount was always in two pieces.
