Ford Engine Bolt Torque Chart
Bolt Torque Spec Chart for Ford Engines
These specs are for stock-type bolts with light engine oil applied to the threads and the underside of the bolt head. Moly and other lubes offer reduced friction and increased bolt tension, which will affect the torque figure. If you use after-market performance bolts like ARP's, you should follow the recommended torque specifications.

the big one tighten with a big bar and pull it to about 120lbs ,the three smaller ones which i cannot place at the moment but if they are 17mm size heads then about 60 but i always feel them as i do them and never use a torque wrench or a air wrench ,just muscle and 40yrs of feel
