Bentley is talking about the bolts (M10 or M12) holding the front end of
the engine carriers to the front engine carrier brackets.  For the
manifold side alloy support, M8s at 18 ft.lbs. is ballpark.  Loc-tite
might be useful insurance here, but the support is only being held in
place and located by the M8s not suspended.
