engine bolt torque specs 300d
 

I have a 1983 300d and need the torque spec to the back plate that bolts to the engine behind the flywheel. I have done several searches on this forum and google and cannot find (maybe I am typing in the wrong words?). Any help will be appreciated.
thanks

It is often called an adapter plate. I've posted some pictures of the thing in this thread

I can't find the information you want in the FSM - it is hidden in there some where...

...however Haynes says =>

"Engine mount bearer-to-engine block"

10mm --- 40 Nm --- 30 Ft-lbs
12mm --- 70 Nm --- 52 Ft-lbs


WARNING! Haynes is not always reliable!

For example the information given above should be M10 and M12 - but hey I'm probably being a bit fussy. Some times their conversions from metric to imperial units are way off and sometimes they are just plain wrong. I do think though that these are reasonable values.

Perhaps someone who is at one with the FSM can help?

Thank you! I will be a week or so before I remove and install new plate for manual conversion, but this gives me a good ideal.
