engine mount madness. help req

noticed the engine mount bolt was a bit loose (pinto) so went to tighten it and noticed it was a bit of a mess. the bottom of the bolt with the nut on seems to have been pierced through the rubber and doesnt have anything to grip to.

is this normal? bottom "mounting hole" is circled in red

thanks all

Never seen the likes on or near a Sierra.

Standard Sierra mount with the top mounting bolt ripped out.
Would suggest you bolt new Sierra mount to the arm that's mounted to the engine and look at fabricating some new chassis to mounting brackets.
