Not sure if the same issues with the mount apply to the 987?
Thanks.

It's worth considering, I think they've revised the part some in the 987, but I think it will still fail. When you have all the panels off for the waterpump, you can sort-of see the cylindrical portion mount. If you get enough light shining on one side you should be able to see if it's cracked.
If I were in your shoes, and the car had 30k miles or more, I'd just replace it. You will need something to support the weight of the engine, either an engine support bar or a jack that doesn't leak-down.
