Bolted on the Engine Mount
I checked the torque value for the bolt that is used for the engine mount, then added enough washers to get the cotter key hole at the best position for putting in the cotter key. I also read on a forum that when you get the first "click" on the torque wrench, check the position of the cotter key hole and keep pushing the wrench forward until the hole lines up for the cotter key.
