This question may be silly, but I cannot find clear definite information, tho it may be because I am belng slow....
So I have the four engine bolts installed and tightened up so that the mounts are bottomed out. The instructions say "tighten to standard AN7 values." Its a UNF thread, 20 turns per inch, so the standard value would be 450 to 500 inch pounds - considerably more than the "bottoming out" torque?
I notice on the "illustrated guide to engine hanging that it is suggested that the bolts are close tolerance - but I don't think they are?
Have I understood the torque instructions correctly?
Many thanks,
Chris
