New Volvo Motor Mounts
I recently installed the new Volvo motor mounts following Dwayne's write up. Obviously its a nearly identical procedure for the old and new mounts.
Going back to my notes though, I realized I torqued the nuts on the top of the new mounts to about 60 ftlb. This is what was recommended in Dwayne's write up, but the older mounts may have been of a different size compared to the new ones - most bolts in the 19mm range were torqued to around 60 ft lbs. If I recall the new mounts are 17mm nuts, and everything else in the 17mm range was torqued to about 33 ftlb in Dwayne's write up.
I am wondering if ~60ftlb is too much for the new mount bolts / nuts, and whether I should be going back in there to loosen the nuts and re-torque to around ~33 ftlbs.
Thanks,
Dave
