rubber under engine?

[jpcjguy]

Hi all,

So I am replacing the engine in the hammerhead 80t i have and when I pulled the original engine, this is what what was underneath. Looks like a piece of thick rubber and some stair-step spacers. I assume I should loose the rubber based on what I have read on here....

Lose it.

That is what I thought - just finding all sorts of fun stuff with this buggy!

Was it supposed to help vibration I guess?

It would have been to dampen vibration a bit. The problem with rubber is that the nuts and bolts always seem to come loose and the engine starts shifting around
