Apr 07, 2024 2.5 Engine Bolts Torqued Category: Engine
Got the engine lift back out to take most of the weight off the bolts while doing the engine to engine mount torque process. Even though the engine has been on for a while, needed to get a clarification from the factory on torque value and whether to use oil on the threads as the instruction manual says. It didn't sound right to use oiled threads and the factory clarification is to not use any (so the instructions are incorrect).

The top two M10 bolts are simple, the bottom two bolts are difficult due to the access. I had made the needed modified wrench in the past but had to modify it more to get the final torque values done. The wrench kept slipping off with the higher torque so had to do several cycles of tool modification. It was more time modifying the tool than doing the actual bolt torque process.
