Hello,

I am planning to replace my R53's lower engine mount this coming weekend.

Do you guys know the torque specs of these?

#11 = ?

#10 = ?

#8 = ?

Please see below.




I've been reading this thread but it looks like it's not really a sureshot values.

R53 - lower engine mount torque specs


Thank you.

 

#8 and #11 are 74 ft. lbs.
#10 is 28 ft lbs.

 

These are factory MINI specs right?
... ok thank you very much.

 

As a thank you here's the final image so if someone needs it, here you go. Let me know if it's wrong.

 

I am curious why MINI decided 74ft-lbs ? from the looks of it -- it does not carry heavy weights just side twists and up\down motion. Isn't this too high?

 

It’s an M12 bolt of presumably decent grade with good thread engagement bolted into steel, if memory serves. Seems like a reasonable value.

 

I was expecting somewhere 45ft-lbs to 55ft-lbs., I guess that's what MINI\BMW engineers got when they calculated the thing.


The 28ft-lbs that one is expected, it's bolted on to the softer aluminum pan.
