Default No changes to current motor mounts?

Just to check if the current stock mount still requires shimming/shaving? Currently my existing mount has been shimmed/shaved, so far so good.

You shave it because it has collapsed. You shim it because it has pushed the engine back and the rear mount is collapsing. Any way you look at it it's lipstick on a bulldog.
