I would still have a leak down test done. Those test kits are not 100%. Would suck to change a head gasket if you don’t have to. If you talk nice to the machanic, they will sometimes throw in a free compression test. My local guy did both for $25.
Here is a video on leak down test:

But Ok to be snug from the pressure of the nut and washers. If it was snug on the shank, over time they would get stuck and you would have to replace the motor mount every time you took it off. While the rear mount and top mount seem to hold a lot of engine weight. I have always thought of the bottom side ones as more of engine vibration absorbers.
Keep us posted as to what you find. I aways learn the most, when I ask why.

Thats funny about the young drivers. In our town it is the old drivers you have to watch for. They keep hitting parked cars (with you sitting in the car), drive into buildings, and running over people on the side walk. Sadly the last big one was running a stop light in front of the high school. Flipped two cars, and spun a third one. Some people did not make it out of that one. Luckly school was already out. It was just the vehicles involved.

90 to 93 Honda Accord.
Safe, strong, fast, looks clasic cool.
Not very hard to work on.
$1,500 for car, and about another $1,000 to have it in top running condition.
Can have over 200,000 miles on it, if the oil has been kept up.90 to 93 Honda Accord.
