The front engine mounts are supposed to be tightened to 90 nm (66 ft lbs), but I have some engine twisting going on. I have checked that nothing is broke or missing. My question is, is there a really good reason I shouldn't increase that to 110 nm (81 ft lbs) I know the threads can take it, because I tightened it to that.
 
66ft lbs should be good..That is a lot of tightening for them bolts.Motor will still flex under load because the rubber in the mounts are moving.You need a torque limiter..should be one on your SRX for sure.Get one for this sled also.My 600 even has one that butts up to the engine,SRX has a wishbone type.
 
The problem is that the engine twists opposite way, away from the torque arm. I don't understand why. Does your motor twist the clutch towards your left foot? Mine twists away from my left foot.
 
things run the opposite in Norway..didn't you know..lol.Can't go away from your left foot,belt is holding everything in place also as it shifts,unless your belt is to big and stretched out already. :dunno:
