Sounds like a plan, definitely send them back to Europa for examination.

today. I hoisted the engine and surprisingly the rubber mounts did not
come back to their symetrical position. Obviously there is a problem with the
material (not completely cured?) which leads to a permanent deformation.  I
will probably re-install the original rubbers which are in very good shape, a
lot better  after 16 years and 1400 flight hours than the new ones after 10 
months/80
hours.
