At the end of the day its only usually a strip of rubber that is inside these mounts. The auto ones aren't nearly as strong as the manual ones by looking at them - I beleive this is to soften the vibration when you are sitting with the car in drive at the lights. I think some model camry's actually had a revised mount that was softer to help reduce vibration. that was a replacement to the original.

Hopefully the silicon won't squish out. It feels pretty solid, but as you say the weight of the engine could be an issue. Maybe try the sikaflex if this doesn't work.

I know the caster rod bushes on some cars are silicon filled. Maybe I need something a layer of something to stop the silicon coming out.

It's going to be better than it was anyway.
