Message Make sure you got that motor in there good and the motor mounts torqued all the way down. The FSM has torque specs, but I didnt see how it was possible to get my torque wrench onto them. I chased my tail for a while trying to figure out a mild drive shaft vibration and it turned out is was at least partially a result of the motor mounts not being torqued down enough, combined with sagging transmission mount, which affected driveline angle just enough to cause a mild but noticeable and annoying vibration at highway speeds.

I wouldnt freak out about it now, just torque them down good and tight, maybe get a thread count off a Z that hasnt had the motor pulled to use as a reference....and if you run into a vibration (assuming you didnt change anything else out in the drivetrain) then you know where to look first.

Let the paranoia begin!
