Hi All
Another question. I swung my engine off mount and all to replace my shock cords and repair the firewall. Yesterday I mated everything back up and bolted it on however I am not sure how tight to torque the four 1/2 inch AN bolts for the mount to firewall attachment. Right now I have them at 40 foot pounds and still supported by engine hoist. I wanted to get your input on the final tightening and lining up the cotter pins. I didn't know if I should do it to the max bolt torque?
Didn't see anything off hand in the hand drawn plans.
Thanks in advanced.
