Bolt sequence and torqe on 96 4.0

[jsepps]

I was wondering if anybody could tell me the torque and oder of the bolts on the lower intake on my 96 4.0?

Torque is 107-123 in-lbs. Start from the bolts at the center of the motor and work towards the ends. Alternate side to side as you work your way out. You may want to torque them halfway the first pass..3/4 of the way the second pass, and all the way on the final pass. My book doesn't give a specific sequence (except to work from the center out) or what torque steps to work to, but the above should be sufficient.

Fel pro gasket recomends this

Step 1 4-8 Nm
Step 2 8-15 Nm
Step 3 15-21 Nm
Step 4 21-25 Nm

The tourqe wrench I have is Ft lbs is there a way to transfer this to ft lbs?
Or should I just get another wrench?

foot-pounds(ft-lbs) into Newton-metres(Nm) ft/lbs x 1,35 = Nm
Newton-metres(Nm) into foot-pounds(ft-lbs) Nm x 0,74 = ft/lbs


I found this conversion chart...

if i did the conversion correct it would be
step 1 3-6 ft lbs
step 2 6-11 ft lbs
step 3 11-15.5 ft lbs
step 4 15.5-18.5 ft lbs

Lol 18.5 Ft lbs = 222 inch lbs which is way over what JD said the manual called for.. If my conversion is correct.. do yourself a favor and buy an inch lb torque wrench.. you can pick one up pretty cheap off Harbor Freight along with a whole host of sites on the web.

I did the conversion myself and came up with about the same as you. 107-123 inch pounds seems kinda low for something such as the intake. Perhaps I am wrong. Regardless I have to get ahold of another torque wrech because the one I have only goes up to 9 ft pounds.
