On the Ford service CD, it specifies torque (nm) for almost all the bolts & nuts for the four mounts/restrictors... but it doesn't mention the bolts for the rear restrictor (only the center bolt and the mounting plate bolts). Unrelated to this thread, the CD doesn't mention torque for the center bolts on both upper mounts... or even mention removal/install of them.

The Haynes manual is pretty screwey in this area also.

(BTW, I did search the forums too).

Should these be torqued to 83nm like the other bolts? I was primarily concerned about the long bolt -- even though it's marked as 8.8, I'd rather not snap it.

Thanks!
