I started with the black Barry engine mounts. Changed them out at about 200 hours to the green ones. Now the green ones sag also--not quite as much, but for $320, they are crap. Interestingly, we built in a half inch of compensation before we completed the cowl. I would suggest the following attempt at a fix to everyone starting out: Build a cupped heat shield around the rubber mounts to eliminate radiant heat emanating from the turbos. I am tempted to build my own mounts from large Viton green rubber stoppers from a lab supply house. If I had a smaller engine with less torque, I would really consider doing this myself. When I used them in the lab many years ago, they were indestructable, and they cost only a buck or so each. Well, I am done buying expensive crapola from Barry. I think I will try rotating the present ones 180 degrees on their axis to change the sag to a lift... If this works, I will make a heat shield with flats to grasp to rotate the mounts 180 every hundred hours or so.
