Torque Specs

[tbone]

Can someone please direct me to a good source for torque specs on the 4.6? Maybe a Haynes or Chilton service manual for a Mustang?

IMHO... Best one is the factory shop manual.

Those are pretty expensive I think. I need it for my Eaton conversion and timing guide/tensioner replacement/maintenance.

A free reference site on the web would be ideal.

The German torque method,.... gudentite.

FWIW, Haynes manuals are inexpensive for a reason: they suck. Information is frequently missing or inaccurate, the photos are next to useless and the wiring diagrams, if any, are unreadable.

Back in my day (the '70s) Chilton's USED to be excellent...I have no idea if they're any good today.

Factory service manuals can be had on e-Bay for short money, but even if you have to pay full price from HELM Inc, they will save you their cost many times over.

A lonnnnng time ago, I posted most of the torque specs for our Marauder's engine/transmission direct from the 2003 Ford Shop Manual.
Anyone want to fumble around in the 'Search' mode?

Thanks. Good deal. Problem is, not a 32 valve manual. I have the Haynes for the Crown Vic/GM that has torque specs for a 2v 4.6.

I did Google it Zack. I did not find satisfactory information in a timely manner, so I asked my friends on here for help and advice.

I appreciate the link.

Oh it does have Marauder specific information including both 2v and 4v.

Thanks Bob. I think I'll subscribe to it. I forgot about AllData.

I noticed that BMW specs are not available per request of the manufacturer. That fact alone crosses BMW off my list forever. What BS.

I used the gudentite method for years on non-critical bolts back in the days when my engine block was iron, as were many other parts.

These days, with many bolts threading into aluminum, I am much more careful and do torque bolts other than rods and mains.

I'm sure there's people on Bimmer forums with torque numbers. But does go to show you what douchebags they are at BMW.
