Engine yoke to engine nut torque

[wesleyc]

First time engine dropper and I don't want to tighten yoke nuts too tight? im afraid of messing up engine to trans studs. this engines so heavy and with just two bolts holding it makes me apprehensive thank you.

Ok... I'm Guessing this was a dumb question. It's just that the engine to trans studs are 17lbs. I Think?

If you got the real engine yoke (P201), it's the lip that hold the engine and the 2 nuts only hold the ring tight to the engine flange.

Thanks. I have it hanging now.

It is daunting, but it does work ...have just taken my turbo lump (i.e. heavy with all the plumbing and intercooler fitted) off after 3yrs, no dramas at all
