Wondering if someone here knows the specs on the torque requirements for the two bolts that holds the starter motor in place. I have replaced the two broken bolts with the correct new ones. Right now I went as hand tight as I could go.
This is on a 2003 3.0 motor.
Thanks in advance.

Ayuh,..... I too, torque 'em with my calibrated elbow,.....

General "Spec" for a 3/8" bolt is 35ft.lbs.....
So I figure 'bout 35/ 45ft.lbs., per the elbow,...

On second thought the "calibrated elbow" will have to do because I doubt it my torgue wrench will fit down there........
