how far should the engine move when revved in drive or reverse,,i was checking the mounts,,when i reverse it moved about two inches,,in drive it only moved about an inch,,does that mean the drivers side mount is stuffed?

i dont think there should be much movement at all really. they are fairly solid rubber mounts

90% of the time the drivers side one will break because the engine tries to turn around the crank so it places all its torque on that mount. If the other side breaks it is generally because of reverse/first wheelies.
