Ive seen this a few times on racecars, Cossie engines are very Vibration prone , engine mountings and turbo dampers are things to look at first .

Kimmy......That turbo damper is bolloxed hunny by the look of it,hence the manifold bolts loosening/damper snapping etc.........

Cossies suffer terrible vibration through the exhaust manifold(2wd worse than 4x4),Either get a rebuild kit for your damper and set it up right or do what i did and get a proper RS 500 damper kit for it.....(GGR Do em at a very reasonable price)

CheeRS.......Rob...

Brand new complete RS500 damper with mounting block is Ł95.00 at GGR......An absolute steal.....

They are the only damper that work properly imo(unless you get a NMS trelliss frame.. )

Should cure all your problems.....
