>>>We can't tell from here.   You need to examine the bolts (not only the 
bolts from the upper mounts into the block, but also the bolts between the 
upper and lower mounts, and the bolts from the lower mounts into the chassis) 
and tell us!

Is the pulley coming adrift from the damper?   It's held in with four 
bolts--are they tight?

Is the damper coming adrift from the crank?   It's held in with one mondo 
bolt--is it tight?
