hi all

quick question

can anyone tell me the torque settings for
head bolts
rocker bolts (non roller, hydraulic)
inlet manifold bolts

for a 351C 2v, stock.

I had one guy tell me it doesnt matter for rocker and manifold and 100ft lbs for the head bolts. Just wanna be sure and get them even.

thanks

Well help the guy out and find the specs if you don't like the ones that I found.

18 -22 for the rocker bolts...would explain why my apprentice (mate) to the novice (me) snapped one off. When I looked at my torque wrench he had it set on 40.[:-]

Thanks 67t5 for the quick response.
true66 if you've got different ideas for rockers and manifold i'd be interested to hear.
