Engine mount bolts install front to rear or other way around?

[Jan Larsson]

Do I install the long engine mount bolts from the front meaning the nut is close to the firewall or do I install them the other way around meaning nut is facing the radiator? And do both sides (driver and passanger) install the same?

Been two years now and I can't remember

Jan,
If you don't get an answer by tomorrow, I'll go out into the garage and take a peek at mine.

Thanks Bob, that would be great. I take it your engine never been out the car right?

From the rear going forward, Meaning nuts on front. This is the easiest way.

Looking in the service manual they show front to rear, so nuts towards the firewall ....

If you have a manual why did you ask?

PS: Use some Locktite!

The manual only shows a simple diagram and does not mention anywhere to install the bolts either way so thought I ask to see how they were actually installed from the factory ....

Jan,
Just checked mine...sorry it took longer. Mine are just like in the manual....Nut on the firewall side, bolt inserted front to back.
