2F Head Torque Procedure

[ColoCruiserJeff]

Okay.....I've spend the past 2 hours searching online and on 'mud for this and I'm completely lost!

I'm in the process of reinstalling the head on my 2F motor and I can't find the actual torque sequence on the head bolts. I've found torque amounts...just not the proper order.

There are no numberings on the head to identify the particular bolt number, so a diagram would be incredibly helpful.

I'm a long way from a Checker or Autozone...so I can't get a book today.....and I'd bet they don't even have one for this FJ40.

Thanks for your help.....I appreciate it!

(in the garage now....so call if you can)

Start in the center and work your way out in a circle towards the ends of the head.

Poser-

Thanks for the call! I appreciate it- Big time!

Degnol-

Thanks for the picture Now that I have a much-better Craftsman Torque Wrench (80$) I can get an accurage torque on these babies!

Anyone know the rocker assy torque setting?

CAN YOU TELL I NEED A BOOK?????

Rocker arm assembly bolts: 19 ft-lbs and the grooved side is 15 ft-lbs.

Well, I'm at it again.....torque-ing my 2F head just before CM11, and I couldn't find the darn book....had to come back to my original post, 3 years old for the answer

Thanks 'mud!!

7 years later, still good info for the rocker torque!

 

[musthave]

Still valid

Bumping…

I just put together a truck with a rebuilt head, fresh gasket, the whole thing and the gasket blew again.

I reused bolts, which is probably not the best idea, but I also only torqued to 83. I think I’m an idiot for not going heavier.

What is everyone doing here, north of 90?

It really pays to use the correct tap and chase the threads IMHO. I like anti-seize compound but some bolts need other sealants.
