Everyone always asks about torque specs, the search column is full of them. So I figured since there is already a thread about the CEL's, why not one that has a fair amount of torque specs for everyone to use![headbang] These all come from the Chilton Manual, years 2000-2005. I will do my best to organize them accordingly. Everything will be in ft-lbs unless otherwise noted.

Okay, you get the "Instant Stickie" award.

Fit it into the "How to" listing later, right now it's a new thread at the top of this section for looks & comments.

Makes sense. I appreciate it. Realized it after I sent it. The cylinder head bolt specs I remembered doing when replaced after valve seat drop last year.

Ok so I'm changing my 2.0 head with a 2.3 Ford Focus RS head. I'm putting wiesco racing pistons, Ford performance cams, bocsh 60 lb injectors, steeda throttle body, tansky intake manifold, super tech valve springs. So ik I need better motor mounts top and bottom strut bar but do I need to change move or do anything with my strut mounts?

 

[Alec_13]

I meant a 42 lb Bosch injectors
