[QUOTE=CaliBenzDriver;8880660]Let's say rubber mounts on V6 engine can wait another year, the two timing covers are an easily accessible place to do a lot of good... beyond the dirty $2 RTV gasket

replace 4x CPS leaky sensors
replace 2x chain tensioners
(check missing check-valves?)

The regulars :

(spark plugs & boots)
(tranny ATF service)
(engine oil service)
(air filter)

the 212 Engine Mounts are oil filled bags which are prone to leaks from 70 - 100K miles, depending on driving style.
The Transmission Mount is of Rubber.
