Torque sequence

Good afternoon. The torque is below and the torque sequence is attached.

. Install new cylinder head retaining bolts:
- Tighten retaining bolts in sequence shown to 80 Nm (59 ft. Lbs.).
- Then back off bolts 360°.

Caution: Always use new cylinder head bolts when installing cylinder head or damage to engine may occur.

5. Tighten the cylinder head retaining bolts in two final tightening steps in sequence shown in the following illustration:
- 50 Nm (37 ft. Lbs.)
- 92 Nm (68 ft. Lbs.)

Note: When cylinder head retaining bolts have been tightened, it is not necessary to re-tighten the bolts after extended engine operation.

Intake manifold.

Torque intake manifold bolts in sequence shown in two steps: first to 15-22 ft lb, then to 20-24 ft lb.

Torque sequences are always the same. You start in the middle and work toward the ends while alternating sides.

3)Tighten bolts to specification, in reverse order of removal sequence.

Step1 tighten 37 ft. Lb.
Step 2 loosen 1 turn
Step 3 tighten 22 ft. Lbs.
Step 4 tighten 90 Degs
Step 5 tighten 90 Degs

New cylinder head bolts must be installed. They are torque-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.

Cylinder head bolts
First pass Tighten to 50 Nm (37 ft. Lbs.)
Second pass Loosen bolts one full turn
Third pass Tighten to 30 Nm (22 ft. Lbs.)
Fourth pass Tighten 90°
Final pass Tighten 90°

this is for 3.0 vin code U since you did not give us the engine

The bolt size depends on the manufacturing date. This was a mid-year split. So it doesn't matter who measured what. I'd go with the machine shop frankly if I had to choose.. Can always buy a pitch gauge which comes in handy.

To 7-13-98 is one number, the other is obviously from 7-13-98

I would get the bolt set you need fresh. This is fel-pro, but call your supplier and ask them to find out what the size is based on your build date.

I understand.

The bolts are torque to yeild and must be replaced, you can not measure the threads on them once they have been used as they stretch. Do not reuse them.

The aftermarket ones I shown above is the answer you need. You'll get the right ones based on prod date. Then you can get the heli-coil kit you need based on those. This particular one was from NAPA. Tell them which set you want and a heli-coil kit to match them. When you get it, verify the bolt is correct by threading into a good hole. Once that is verified, you can put in the heli-coil.

You can call the dealer parts department and inquire. They may or may not have that info. The parts department is not always given complete information from FORD, but would be another method to get the spec. If they show it. You can order the head bolts through they dealer as well, but you can't get the heli-coil through them. More expensive and less convenient with more work.

I'll call the dealer when I get in to work and let you know.

My apologies, I would still use them. Reading so many posts, I get blinders on. I should have re-read more carefully.

The dealer could only supply this info:
M11 x 100

No pitch available from them.

I think if you get a pitch gage that you screw the bolt into that has 11 mm, you won't have a problem.
