Friend of mine had to remove an engine mount to change the serpintine belt
on a ford taurus he had for a while (SHO).  Anyway, the belt actually goes
*around* the engine mount on the passenger side (sideways mounted engine).
He had to change the timing belts on that one too... was even more fun.

He doesn't have that car anymore.
