Ive looked throughout the WSM for this and on Pirtle's great writeup but havent found what i'm looking for.

What is the torque spec for the motor mount bracket bolts that goes from the top of the motor mount to the bottom of the engine block. The 8 bolts that you remove from below. (4x m10 & 4X m8) Right now I have them at 30ft/lb for the larger M10 and 15ft/lb for the smaller M8 as per the standard torque setting for such bolts.

Am i right or does anyone have a different listing for those bolts.

Those are the values I used on mine. Make sure you get the heat shields in there right about now. Wait too long and there will be foul words and some 'extra' re-disassembly.

Actually,

I found the motor mount job to be quite easy!

But that was because i already had the engine out of the car, then i looked at the write up on it with the engine still in, and noticed having to remove the lower a-arms, lower engine brace, what a major pain, i am glad i pulled the engine i didnt have to go through all that

NICE,

I am doing an engine install again and was looking through the WSM again and couldnt find these torque specs for these 8 bolts. Did a search and look who posted the same question.....ME.

I should take notes from now on I think. I dont know what I would do without Rennlist.

Now that your experienced with the motor mount job......... :-) How long before you have it fired up?

Be aware that installing the motor mounts with the engine out of the car, will cause the install of the engine to be abit tight.

i installed the mounts a year ago, I didnt touch them this time. I just needed the torque setting for the 8 bolts that go from the block to the bracket.

Everything on the underside of the car is finished, now just have to fool around with the wiring harness and the intake and injectors, maybe tonight it will LIVE!
