whats the torque for the head bolts

 

From 1991 FSM Step1 29 ft/lbs, Step2 62 ft/lbs, Step3 93 ft/lbs

 

That's odd, the '93 FSM says ~





Pages: 9-115 & 9-116 (5.9L (Diesel) Engine)

 

91 manual is nonintercooled, slightly different head (9mm) and a weaker HG from what Ive heard...Im not sure if they had an FSM for IC 91s.

 

Sorry for the hijack, but where is the best place to get an FSM?

So what year is SMOKE' EM's truck?

 

Thanks, ordered it (FINALLY!).

 

The reason it in 1991 the certification changed on the engine and they changed the head bolts to a different design. 1991 and prior bolts SHOULD NOT be used in 1991 and later engines, but 1991 and later bolts can be used in the older engines.

The old bolts are a straight torque style one, the newer one is a torque plus 90*. Look at the head of the bolt and you will see T<90 on the newer ones, earlier ones do not have this and should not be torque that way either.

 

IIRC he has a 92 or 93 , which would be the specs BC847 gave

 

it is a 93

 

Ah Ha! I read something recently concerning the bolts and didn't know the connection. Thanks Mike.
