I am rebuilding the 2.3 out of a 95 ranger and have hit some bumps. No one seems to have all the torque and clearance specs for this motor. The haynes manual has the major bolts, but no clearances.
1) What are the connecting rod to journal bearing bolt torque specs and clearances (I want to check them with palstigauge) (I have found sites listing the torque specs ranging from 30 ft/lbs to 85 ft/lbs.)
2) Is there a place that sells a replacement gasket for the oil pump?
3) Any tips or pointers?
Additionally, if anyone wants/needs pictures of the engine, fully broken down, I'd be glad to snap them.
