Scott: thanks, that makes sense because I believe I want to see some threads out the top of the mount to confirm full engagement.

On a related topic, is there any reason not to use AN7H drilled bolts (in the head) in order to lockwire the engine mounts versus adding the unique lock tab washers that are more difficult to obtain?   I can't see any reason not to use the drilled bolts beyond the $4 cost from Spruce.   On other aircraft, I note we use a lock tab washer that fits into the hole on the isolator and those are an MS standard.  But Lancair specs an additional washer between the isolator and bolt head hence the hybrid lock tab washer requirement.    An AN7H bolt would seem to be a simple answer to avoid the lock tab washer.   I'm betting someone has already been down this road?

Paul,
 
AN7 bolts in tension should be torqued to 450-500 inch lbs.  Make sure no more that three threads show - otherwise there is danger that the nut has been torqued to the shoulder of the bolt rather than holding the bolt in proper tension.

Reinstalling isolators on the io550 and cannot see any specs for the AN7 bolts for torque or threads.  Do they get torqued or just threaded through top of the engine mount? Thx
