Motor Mount/torque specs?

[bklyn]

Ok my Boxster 101 book arrived and I ordered a new motor mount from our host. Waynes book is pretty straight forward and project seems simple. My question, there are no torque specs. listed. Maybe not important but if there are specs. can someone advise what they are? Thanks

Once the assembly is removed, there are 2 bolts/2 nuts (15mm) that hold the engine mount to the front yolk assembly that need to be removed so that you can attach your new engine mount to the yolk. I got my engine mount from Sunset ($140 or $150, iirc). I installed the new mount to the yolk, torquing it 48 ft lbs.

The next step is to reinstall the entire assembly, which takes some patience and gentle moving/pushing aside of the coolant hoses to snake this cumbersome piece in. I read that some folks install the engine mount first and then install the front yolk assembly 2nd (i tried this initially, but gave up, installing the entire unit together).

The engine mount to the engine was torqued at 34 ft lbs, though I'm not sure how you would slip a torque wrench on those 2 upper bolts!

The yoke to the frame was torqued at 48 ft lbs. (this is where I raised the engine a couple of inches to get the yoke as close to the frame as possible to begin finger threading the 4 studs/bolts into the frame.

Hope it helps.
