Engine Mount Bracket to Cylinder Block Bolt Tightening Sequence






Always use the correct tightening sequence and specifications for the engine mount bracket bolts. Otherwise tension could develop in the engine bracket and break it.

- First, tighten the bolts by hand in sequence - 1 through 3 -.

- Then, tighten the bolts in that sequence to specification, see - item 4 - in the overview.
