For 1999 OHV Taurus/Sable (non DOHC) Per Chilton repair manual
Bolt sequence from top left: like reading #6,4,7,2,5,1,8,4
Step # torque in Ft/lbs(unless otherwise specified)
#1--- 52 to 66
#2--- Loosen 360 degrees
#3--- 20 to 24
#4--- Rotate 85 to 90 degrees in sequence
#5--- Rotate 85 to 90 degrees in sequence
I recommend alternating between a good torque wrench(#1 & 3) and a 1/2" drive ratchet (#2,4 & 5)
Never reuse old head bolts either. They are useless once torqued due to stretching.
Head torque sequence for a 2002 3800
On a 1993 Ford Taurus GL : That would be the 3.0 litre " Vulcan " V6 or the optional 3.8 litre V6
The 2004 Ford Taurus Owner Guide shows ( 5W-20 ) for the 3.0 liter Vulcan and 3.0 liter DOHC Duratec engines
The LX should have the 3.0 liter OHV ( over head valve ) " Vulcan " V6 engine
i need to know the head torque spec's and sequence on a 1999 Chrysler Concorde 2.7 liter motor
what is the torque specs to a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu 3.1 liter motor. Need head and intake torque specs. and sequence.
Torque specifications are different from motor to motor. These specifications state how tightly the head bots are to be installed. Correct torque insure that the head gasket is sealed properly and correct torque sequence insures that the head itself is not warped in the installation process. Refer to a engine repair manual (Chilton's, Hayne's, etc.) for your vehicle/motor for the correct specs and torqueing sequence. You can usuall find these manuals at your local auto parts store. Hope this helps.
There is a cap in the center of the engine that says "engine oil" on it. If it has the 3.0 Vulcan motor (single cam) it takes 4.5 quarts of oil.
you need a chiltons motor guide don't count on what someone on the computer tells you ..this has to be right or you just wasted a lot of money
how to calculate hydraulic motor torque
Depends which engine. The 3.0L Vulcan OHV V6 engine: 4.5 quarts. The 3.0L Duratec DOHC V6 engine: 5.5 quarts.
The 2001 Ford Taurus came with 2 engines that could be equipped. The 3.0L OHV Vulcan which features a single cam oriented in a pushrod configuration, or the 3.0L DOHC Duratec which featured dual overhead cams. The Vulcan is often found in base models, and the Duratec started to replace the Vulcan in later years. You can identify if you have the Vulcan if the 8th digit of your VIN code contains a U, 1 or 2. The Duratec uses VIN code S. Be aware, some parts stores INCORRECTLY refer to the 3.0L OHV Vulcan as a SOHC (Single Overhead Cam). While this will not change what parts you need to purchase, The Vulcan was offered as an Overhead Valve Pushrod motor configuration ONLY.
