Reply to "Eliminating engine sourced vibration - Recap"

I have no doubt that the vendor insulators may have differed from the original insulators with a stiffness that would more firmly transmit vibrations. But I wonder if another aspect of the vendor insulators also failed to dampen vibrations like the originals.

Looking at the original and replacement engine mount insulators the only major visual difference is the circumferential groove molded into the originals.

I am far from an engineer but couldn’t that groove allow the insulator to flex and thus deflect some energy (vibration), in a manner similar to a spring flexing?
