Default torque engine bolts down to spec or just hit them with the impact gun

im going to do my swap tom finally after waiting so long for all the parts....for those that have done swaps before....did u torque all the bolts down to spec, engine mount and bracket bolts.....or did u just hit them with the impact wrench?

do u think tightening them with just an impact gun will be sufficient enough?

I did em to spec cuz If you ever gotta change an axle it won't be too hard to get off....But if you use an impact on and have the misfortune of getting stuck with a broken axle+ no air=Boned! It happened 2 me...T3h sux. Good luck wit da swap tho.

I'd torque down any bolt that threads into aluminum so as to avoid any chance of stripping or breaking bolts. Other than that... just zip them on with an impact.
