Is it good or bad to have more bolts?
Peugeot use 3 bolts to hold the motor onto the trans in the XN* engines. Once (emphasis on the once, never wanted to touch the thing again) worked on a Triumph 2.5TC. They used 13 bolts to hold the motor to the trans. Not only that, but lots of them were nuts and bolts, and they were jammed up hard against the firewall.
Speaking as an engineer: if 3 bolts were good enough, but they used 4 means that they didn't trust their own calculations.....

Japanese vs Peugeot:
My take. I'm a Toyota guy. I'm constnatly amazed at the
overengineering of their assemblies. If 3 bolts are good enough,
they'll use 4.
