Motor mount bracket torque spec

[DeadEye200321]

Hello again everyone,

I’m struggling to find the torque specs for the bolts that go from the motor mount bracket to the block on the engine, as well as the nuts that go from the motor mount bracket to the motor mount itself. Maybe I’m not understanding the terminology of when I’m looking it up but it’s saying there’s like an upper and a lower torque spec, see photo

I torqued the bolts that go from the motor mount bracket to the block to 45 ft-lbs because that seemed like a good number and I didn’t want to strip/or snap the bolts and I just put the nuts that secure the motor mount brackets to the motor mounts on until they were snug, but I would ideally like a torque spec for those, lemme know if these are the right torque specs because the photo says lower engine mount bracket bolts but the bracket connects to the motor mounts with nuts and the upper engine mount bracket uses bolts to secure it to the engine block, not nuts, so I’m just confused, lemme know if you can point me in the right direction, thank you!

On your chart there are two numbers one is newton/meters and the other is ft-lbs.

Don't get too hung up on the torque settings tighten them good and let it go. I guess people that do not turn wrenches very much need a guide of some sort, but most mechanics only torque to spec certain things, like wheel studs, head bolts, flywheel bolts, etc. Critical stuff.

Yes I know there are 2 numbers, I can see that. I also can see that they are different units. Not sure why you’re throwing the insult around of I guess people that don’t turn wrenches around but I hope you know that an engine mount is a very crucial component and is what actually keeps your engine in place. It’s critical to get a torque spec because guess what will loosen any bolt not torqued to spec…. DING DING DING you guessed it, VIBRATIONS! Let’s see, what does the engine in particular experience a lot of when it’s running, you guessed correct again, VIBRATION! So yes I turn wrench a lot and yes I know what I’m talking about. Don’t come on this forum if you gonna insult somebody and not be helpful. Torque specs are there for a reason and motor mount torque specs are critical.
