Ford 200 torque specs

[MandarinaRacing]

Hello All!
I'm trying to elaborate a chart with the most commonly used torque specs for our sixes. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to ask for torque specs

• Connecting Rod bolt / nut
  Cylinder Head Bolt
  Main Bearing Cap
  Camshaft to Timing Gear
  Engine to Trans. Bellhousing
  Valve Cover Bolts
  Flywheel to Crankshaft
  Flex Plate to Crankshaft
  Flex Plate to Converter
  Pressure Plate to Flywheel
  Oil Pan Drain Plug
  Oil Pan Bolts
  Oil Pump Mounting Bolts
  Starter Mounting Bolts
  Water Pump to Block
  Thermostat Cover
  Exhaust (Header) Manifold to Head
  RockerArm Assembly

I'd really appreciate anyone who can help...

Alex

A Haynes manual tells you exact torque specs for every single bolt on yer car.. even if they dont have a haynes fer yer model car just get a 200 block like a 78-83 fairmont with a 3.3 200... ford torque specs are basically the same if im not mistaken not sure on that one..

The Mustang Corral sells the shop manuals Simon mentioned. They are on this forum, just go to the index under Car Corral. They are a wonderful place for mustang stuff.
