how tight should we tight the head gasket bolt for a Ford f150
Need to know the engine size.
100 INCH pounds.
wiper motor or the bolts holding it tight.
you torque the bolts until they are good and tight
15 to 20 inch pounds should do it, or what feels tight with your fingers.
They all must be torqued at a certain spec. None will be loose.
either the bolts are loose, bolts are not number 8 bolts, or the belt is to tight and out of alignment [ADDED] Another possibility is that they were removed and replaced at some time, but over-tightened so over-stressing them. A too-tight belt may or may not affect the bolts, but it will shorten the lives of not only itself, but also the bearings on all the shafts it drives.
They don't usually need any special effort, but a little loctite 242 would help.
Sounds like something is out of alignment in the transmission area. Make sure all the bolts are tight down there.
That is normal, Just put the converter bolts in it and it will be alright.
to tighten a intake manifold start with a center bolt and tigten in a circular pattern towards the ends. tighten bolts in even incraments until tight.
