I’ve search but haven’t found the torque value for the front and rear engine mount bolts. Is there actually a torque spec or just snug and install cotter pin.

Thanks Dave

Tighten them good but not so much to distort the rubber.

I agree with the above. Being able to slip in the cotter pin is probably a good indicator.

Snug as a bug in a rug works.

Thanks for the help, figured they shouldn’t be to tight as the rubber would distort and cause them to possibly split.

They do need to be tight, but only to the point that the rubber barely starts to bulge.

Don't the bolts have a shoulder on them which you tighten the nut down to? On my 40 and 47, I had to do this, and at that, I was barely able to get the cotter pins back in.
