hello I am missing my manual need to know the torque value on the head bolts 99 ranger 3.0 flex thanks paul

 

go to autozone.com they have links to repair guides, or try the ranger station under tech support.

 

thanks called someone got the torque settings heads are on

 

There are threads in the "Tech Info" thread atop this forum with photos & other details on the 3.0L that are a good reference.

 

Here's the install the bolts sequence from the 1999 Ranger Service Manual.

Install the bolts. Tighten the bolts in five stages in the sequence shown.
1. Stage 1: Tighten to 50Nm (37 lb-ft).
2. Stage 2: Losen the bolts one full turn.
3. Stage 3: Tighten to 30Nm (22 lb=ft).
4. Stage 4: Rotate 90 degrees.
5. Stage 5: Rotate an additional 90 degrees.

and there's a illustration of the sequence, there are 8 bolts, four across the top and 4 across the bottom.
1 is the third from the front on the bottom.
2 is the 2nd from the front on the top.
3 is the 2nd from the front on the bottom.
4 is the third from the front on the top.
5 is the 4th from the front on the bottom
6 is the 4th from the front on the top.
7 is the front bolt on the bottom.
8 is the front bolt on the top.

Good Luck and Happy New Year.
