Can anyone set the facts straight here on the proper cylinder head torque specs for a 2001 3.0 Ranger? One method is the 5 step (37 ft lbs, loosen 1 turn, 22 ft lbs, 90 degrees, 90 degrees).
Method 2:
1. Step 1: 59 ft. lbs. (80 Nm).
2. Step 2: Loosen the bolts one full turn.
3. Step 3: 40 ft. lbs. (55 Nm).
4. Step 4: 63 ft. lbs. (85 Nm).
I have a torque rotation meter, and would put it to good use here if necessary. So which method is recommended by Ford for the 01 Ranger? Thanks!
