Gen1 Motor Mount Torque SPEC
Anyone know what the torque specs are for the motor mount bracket to engine block bolts/nuts are? My service manual has them listed as 65ft-lbs in the back of section 9. However, in the text description of the removal/install of the motor mounts, it calls out 30ft-lbs.

For further info, the introduction section lists bolt sizes, grade, and max torque.

Re: Gen1 Motor Mount Torque SPEC
Well, I tried 65ft-lbs last night. SNAP the bolt broke. The bolts are 3/8"-16 thread. I'm guessing that 65 ft-lbs is too much.
 I bought some grade 8 bolts to replace them, but I don't think I'll be trying 65 ft-lbs on those. |
