Should the bolts that go into the head that hold the rocker arms- -have a locknut under the bolt? -have locktite on the threads? Finally what toque value should I use on these bolts? Thanks in advance for replies, Haasman
There were no lock nuts under the rocker bolts on any of the three 235's that I disassembled in the process of finding one to build up for my project truck. However, I don't know for sure if they're supposed to be there. I found this little chart on torque spec's in another forum, NOT from a shop manual. I've used the information for assembling my engine. Use at your discretion. main cap bolts 100-110 bellhousing bolts 45-55 flywheel bolts 50-65 rod nuts 35-45 oil pan corner bolts 12-15 oil pan bolts 6-7 clutch pressure plate bolts 25-30 cylinder head bolts 90-95 manifold clamp bolts 15-20 manifold end clamp bolts 25-30 water pump bolts 25-30 spark plugs 20-25 fuel pump bolts 15-20 rocker shaft bolts 25-30 Hope this helps.
