Evo Motor Mount Specs
The 1986-1990 FSM lists no torque specs for the rear mounts or lower front mounts.
There is only one spec in the 79-85 FSM (rear motor mounting bolt-nut: 16 to 24 ft lbs) and the 86-90 rear mount is the same part from 84-90.
For the rest, there are general “Torque Value” charts in the front of the service manual. 1)
It lists general torque values for bolt types but not specific mounting bolts.
It also says to torque to these values given in the tables unless specified otherwise. There are two charts (English and Metric).
Below is a list of torque values from the different year model FSMs.
