    Is there a recommended torque setting for the rear engine mount rod bolt and nut? I know the nut and end are known for shearing from stress. Don’t want to overtighten.

    I'll check the manual when I get home from work, unless someone else beats me to it. I've never heard of a engine mounting bolt shearing from anything other than being grossly overtightened.

    Font mounting bolts (10mm nuts) are 4.2 m-kg (30 ft-lb)
    Rear mounting bolts (12mm nuts) are 7.0 m-kg (50.5 ft-lb)
