| ENGINE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS |
| All torque specifications provided in this table are
those recommended by FORD. If you use special bolts, follow the torque
specifications provided by the manufacturer. I recommend that you use
the 3 step torque technique where you torque down the bolts in three
equal steps. Once you have reached the maximum recommended torque
setting, go around one more time. Do not torque in a circular pattern.
Always torque cross to cross. |
