    1. When reassembling motor mount bracket, how do you make sure the bracket goes on the engine in the same exact place/orientation? Is the fit between the bracket and bolts tight enough that you don’t have to worry? Or should I scribe a line around the bracket and align it by eye? Or does the motor need to be realigned? Or am I overthinking it?

    2. What torque should I tighten the top motor mount bolt to after putting everything back together?

    Thank You

    1. Should end up back as it was before but you can trace it if you want a visual. Best to check alignment, and keep those coupler bolts serviceable and secure.

    2. Top bolt? You mean the upper nut on the stud. Greased & Tight! These strike wrenches are the best.
