JJ is correct! Always torque critical fasteners. The two 8mm bolts are not as crucial, and do little more than locate the mount, so "tight" is tight. The 12mm bolt holds your engine in the car! The larger the bolt diameter, the more difficult it is to "feel" when tight is tight. To make sure that your engine doesn't fall out of the car, and to prevent damage to the cross bar, aka spear, either during install, or removal at some point down the road, always torque those fasteners.
