What is the torque pounds for a 2003 v Star 1100 head bolts

Details here on Page 94

11. Following the tightening sequence shown in
Figure 15, torque the fasteners in 1/2 turn increments and in two stages to the specifications.
Torque the fasteners to 1/2 the given torque, then
torque them to their final specifications:
a. Cylinder head nuts (1-4, Figure 15): 50 N•m
(37 ft.-lb.).
b. Cylinder head cap nut (5, Figure 15): 35 N•m
(26 ft.-lb.).
c. Cylinder head bolts (6 and 7, Figure 15): 20
N•m (15 ft.-lb.).
12. If the cylinder has also been reinstalled, torque
the cylinder bolts (A and B, Figure 23) to 10 N•m
(89 in.-lb.). One of the bolts sits in a recess (B, Fig-
ure 23) in the cylinder block.
13. If removed, install the locating pin (B, Figure

I need torque settings for 2003 ford ranger 2.5 turbo diesel wlt cylinder head

The torque settings for the cylinder head on a 2003 Ford Ranger 2.5 turbo diesel WLT engine are as follows:
  • Main cap bolts: 70 Nm (52 ft-lbs)
  • Head bolts: 65 Nm (48 ft-lbs)
  • Rocker arm shaft nuts: 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs)
It is important to note that these torque values are for the cylinder head bolts and main cap bolts only. Other fasteners on the engine, such as the oil pan bolts, may have different torque requirements.
It is also important to use a torque wrench and follow the proper tightening sequence when installing the cylinder head. Consult the service manual for your vehicle or a repair manual for the specific tightening sequence and additional torque specifications.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

What is the right Torque Specification of the cylinder head bolt,main bearing and connecting rod bearing for a 1997 Ford F 150 4.2 liter? Thank you...

Cylinder heat bolt torque:
Torque sequence --------- front | 7 3 1 5 | | 8 4 2 6 | --------- Step 1: Torque all bolts in sequence to 14 Ft/Lbs Step 2: Torque all bolts in sequence to 29 Ft/Lbs Step 3: Torque all bolts in sequence to 36 Ft/Lbs Step 4: in the sequence, loosen the cylinder head bolts three turns. Step 5: Tighten short bolt to 15 - 32 Ft/Lbs Step 6: Tighten long bolt to 30 - 36 Ft/Lbs Step 7: Tighten all bolt to 175- 185 degree note: Do not loosen all of the cylinder head bolts at one time. Each cylinder head bolt must be loosened and the final tightening prior on the next bolt in the sequence.
Main bearing torque:
Torque sequence: Step 1: torque bolts to 91 Ft/Lbs with the exception of the rear main bearing cap Step 2: torque rear main bearing cap bolts to 88 Ft/Lbs Step 3: torque brace bolts to 40 Ft/Lbs
Connecting rod torque:
