Torque values for engine mount

Hi all,

Does anybody know the suggested torque values for the bolts that hold the engine to the mount?

Thanks

Screw them down until the top donut is compressed about the same as the bottom.

I'm not kidding.  The rubber donuts act like springs that the engine rides between.  You just want to squeeze the mount points between the two springs.

Easy as that, huh?

Thanks much Ernest!
