bell crank update

I think I have figured out the problem with throwing the bushings out of the bell crank on the clutch. I am going to replace the left motor mount, one of the bolts was almost all the way out. I tightened it but it may have worn the rubber out on the mount. Something is giving somewhere to make the bushings pop out and this seems like a good place to start. I think when the motor torqs to the right it is just enough to make this happen. Just sharing this info in case anyone else has had this problem
 

Yeah, that's probably it. If the engine mount is loose or busted, that will cause the bushings to wear prematurely. Polyurethane mounts will save lots of headaches with the 258, that engine loves to rip rubber engine mounts apart.
