I saw that post. The mount did not shear it slowly collapsed over time. Son saw oil light come, put in oil, saw light come again, kept driving, blew engine. That incident was self inflicted due to lack and maintenance and lack of common sense, basic knowledge of cars or a little of both (with all due respect to son).

A 240 engine mount does not typically fail all at once, it slowly deteriorates. Mounts are easily inspected from time to time.
