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.

How do I adjust the valves on a 1998 old bravada 4.3 vortec

You don't. They are non-adjustable hydraulic lifters. GM's spec for torque on the rocker arm nuts: Tighten the valve rocker arm ball studs to 47 N·m (35 lb ft). Once the valve rocker arm nuts are installed and properly torqued, no additional valve lash adjustment is required.
