Default Engine Mount

I always drill through the mount and install a nylon insert nut. I also make sure that the surface the nut is seated on (the bottom of the engine mount) is parallel to the top surface. This sometimes requires filing. You cannot tighten a nut against a sloped surface or the stress will shear the bolt. I never have to re-tighten these nuts.
