Me and my dad are trying to figure out what to torque the bolts on the valve gasket to. Saw on here that is was around 80in/lbs...
any truth to that? if not what is the right value?
Thanks for any help

 

Assuming it is a 4.0, Haynes says if you are using RTV, 28 inch pounds; 55 inch pounds for a gasket.

 

It is a very low torque. For the inline 6, I have the torque listed at 55 in/lbs according to the Haynes manual. However according to my factory service manual for my 96, the torque is listed as 115 in/lbs. So it should be somewhere in between (what you have listed should do the job). But any more than that and theres a possibility you'll start snapping bolts. Here is the order of bolts when torquing.

 

Thanks for the info. Gone to the parts store to try to rent a torque wrench an do that. One more time thanks
