Well im finally read to put the motor back together and i found this diagram and i wanted to make sure this had the right sequence and torque specs





11ft lbs of torque on the lower bolts



Bolts 1–10, in sequence: 11 ft. lbs.
Coolant outlet bolts: 20 ft. lbs.
Side bolts: 22 ft. lbs.


is all this Right?

 

what motor and yr?

 

By looking at the "3800" marking on the intake plenum, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say a 3.8. Wouldn't the specs be the same between years?

 

i dont have any info on the 3.8. lol. time for sleep.

 

Nitey-night. And don't let the bed crabs bite!

 

That is the same info that I used when I did mine.

 

Really? well im thinking that the torque on the upper intake is to high cuz i snapped a bolt.......talk about unlucky....

 

at 11 ft lbs? or the 22? id say the bolt was cracked already or has had some heat stress. pick up a easyout set and some new bolts.

 

yeah at 11ft lbs its snapped but it snap off high enough that we could get a vicegrip on it and spin it out

 

Are they tiny bolts, because 11 lbs. isn't a lot of torque. Is your wrench reading accurately too? I don't trust my clickity-click torque wrench way down on the low end of the torque spectrum. It doesn't always click when it should. But, I also have an inch lb. torque wrench for reading the more intricate small bolts. You might want to use a beam type torque wrench for the small stuff instead (assuming you were using a clicker).
