**hkysk8r07** · 04-27-2006, 10:11 PM

here's all the TQ for the engine on a zetec. the link don't work because you have to pay for ALLDATA but i got all of the info atschool where we have access to it. it's basically every TQ spec required to assemble a zetec. also i can put up larger pictures next week as well. also i'll save the pictures and rehost them since they're currently being hosted on the ALLDATA server which goes down for maintenance occasionally.

John

i took it from ALLDATA at school. i'm still here right now but their server is down. i'll get anything else needed just PM me and i'll look it up next week.

**MZAXR3C** · 04-28-2006, 12:23 AM

Sorry to bring this back but I have a question. Stage 2 is 78Nm or 7.8Nm?

**DisrupTer911** · 06-03-2006, 02:19 PM

the bolts for the valve cover should be torqued to like 13 or 18#s. 78Nm would snap those bolts

**hEaT** · 06-03-2006, 02:56 PM

Yea, that's almost 60ft lbs. I think 7.8 is around 5-6ft lbs.

**hkysk8r07** · 06-03-2006, 03:08 PM

it's the valve cover i just went as tight as i could make it. plut this isn't my manual.

i guess it should be 7.8 why else would they make the first round of tightening 2Nm

**DisrupTer911** · 06-03-2006, 03:51 PM

i wouldn't make it as tight as you can b/c oyu can warp the plastic and then it will leak.

TQ specs are there for a reason.

that valve cover sucks anyways. lots or RTV and pressure needed to keep it from leaking

**vad** · 06-04-2006, 10:33 PM

How does the factory install keeps it from leaking for a number of years?

**NSRfocus** · 10-01-2006, 08:17 PM

**OrangeSVT03** · 10-09-2006, 06:05 PM

**LornesBored** · 10-09-2006, 11:25 PM

sorry guys haven't checked back much. i'm not at school so no access to our alldata. i'll try to get that in january/february. i'm sure theres gotta be another mechanic on FJ that can copy and paste everything like i did then clean it up for everybody.

**a_sesshoumaru** · 12-30-2006, 10:37 PM

Camshaft bearing cap bolts

i put them like this and the cams didn´t move, i had to put them instead to 10 i put 0,1,2,3,4.. etc

**mr.squatch** · 01-22-2007, 07:40 PM

Some ARP ones too, is there any way to put this at the top? I'm workin on the ARP focus specific paper too.
