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

 

Half a turn before they break!! Haha!

 

Let see if this works.

Main cap bots

Connecting rod bolts

Ok that didn't work. Try this link http://www.classictruckshop.com/bt351C_Modified.php

 

G-day mate!

 

wow some of those seem a little much and some seem not enough.

i know i wouldnt follow those specs. but whatever you do OP, just make sure u put some sort of oil/lube on them

 

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.
