Is that the "legendary" PRV v6 engine?

The Infamous Peugeot POS-V6, the one they used in the Delorean, yep one and the same, some European RV builder used them in motor homes, did not work out well for them either.

Could not keep cams in them was the biggest problem.

At the dealer we would cut a hole in the firewall to replace the cams, fastest & easiest way.

From what I understand the Volvo mounts are fluid filled. Same quality as the Porsche mounts just cheaper.

At this point refrain from drilling a hole in the Anchor MM's.
First shake them next to your ear. If there is water sloshing around in them they are hydraulic.
Probably good to use.
If they do not slosh then squish them in a vice and see if they collapse easily - you will know if they are good or bad.
