dude just tighten them down your over thinking things you don't need to torque every single bolt

If you want a comprehensive torque spec listing, it's a good idea to get a Chilton's or Haynes manual and use that. Plus they're a great reference tool. When I assembled my motor, I did indeed torque every fastener, but only because I'm super anal like that.

However, x182dan is right, "gutentight" without going overboard is generally sufficient.

lol i dont see tq specs as over thinking things especially when it comes to engine work, not to mention i wont feel comfortable unless i do it to specs, sorry thats the way ive done every engine.

Yea i am waiting on my chiltons to get here, not the first damn store around had one for a mustang, it usually happens that way when you need it right then.

lol that is pretty damn funny, but i did get her all back together and everything is torqued to spec (i finally found a spec sheet for everything) but wanted to say thanks for the help too.

Would it be possible to use a chart like this? I will have to go through it with some of my various manuals (snowmobile, jeep) to see if they match rough torque specs.....
