Loose COPs...Normal or Not? Suggestions Please
Loving my "new2me" 2003 F250 SD SC 142" XLT FX4 V10 Auto 4x4 3.73s beast! I never thought I would like an engine more in a truck than my '76 modified 390FE, but this V10 has the edge for sure. Smooth sums it up...
Today, I went to check the oil level. Oil level was normal...and all good there. Since I had the hood up, I decided to look over the COPs. I was able to move or rotate the #1, #2, #6, #7 COPs. I didn't try the other ones...since I could not reach them without climbing into the engine bay.
Is this normal? Or should I go over all COPs and tighten them up? If so, what are the torque specs? Or is "snug" or the 'ol snug then 1/4 turn more...good enough?
Thanks Guys!
