Howdy Folks, Long time listener, first time poster. I have a 99 F250 Superduty that I'm replacing the engine in (last owner ran it out of oil) and I need th know the torque specs for the main bearing caps. I bought a chilton's manual and believe it or not they don't have that torque spec in their manual, everything else but not the main bearing caps.

Can anybody help me out.
Thanks

 

Sorry, I have a 2002 5.4 and the manual says
install vertical crankshaft cap bolt to 30 ftlbs and then tighten another 85 -95 degrees ???????

Never heard of that before!

Then install side bolts to 22ftlbs and tighten another 85-95 degrees

There is also a sequence order to tighten them to

You better find a better manual to help you

2002 might be different

That is a torque to yield, Alot of cylinder heads use this method, I believe it is more accurate way. I believe you have to replace the bolts with new ones
