[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1342838, member: 3828"] Bill, it's not the torque values that are significant. It;s the order that you tighten them that is. It can (or ideally won't) put stress on the frame due to that order. There have also been folks that have theorized that one should fully heat soak the engine and frame before doing the engine mount tighten-up, since the dimensions can change as they heat and expand at differing rates. I believe that all of the left side mounts are direct to the engine and the right side mounts are clamps onto a floating mount. (If that is correct) You'd want to tighten the left side mounts first and the right side clamps second to get the least "stress" on the frame, but only at full operating temps when all parts have reached dimensional equilibrium.
