The torque specifications and sequences listed in this publication are considered accurate and reliable at the
time of publication. However, since engine manufacturers may revise their specifications, FEL-PRO engineers
suggest the installer consult the O.E. manufacturer for the latest information.

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS BY VEHICLE MANUFACTURER
1. Locate the vehicle manufacturer listing in the torque specification tables. All manufacturers
are listed in alphabetical order. To save space in the listings, all Chrysler Products
vehicles, all Ford Products vehicles, and all General Motors Products vehicles are
each grouped together in a single section. Check the Table of Contents at the front
of the book to find where each vehicle manufacturer is located. Each manufacturer
section includes passenger cars, minivans, SUV’s, light-duty and medium-duty trucks
for that nameplate.
2. Within each vehicle manufacturer section, engines are arranged by number of cylinders
(smallest to largest), then by engine size (CID or CC: smallest to largest), then by
model years (newest year first). Check VIN codes carefully on domestic manufacturers,
and engine codes carefully on imported manufacturers, to assure selecting the
correct torquing information.
3. Special footnote symbols are included to show if a FEL-PRO PermaTorque
®
head
gasket (●) or FEL-PRO head bolt set (❍) is available for that engine application.
4. Locate the specific engine desired. Correct torque specifications are shown in
foot-pounds in bold type.
Torque specifications are shown either as an exact figure, or a specific range. Follow
any special instructions or multi-step directions carefully to assure correct final torque.
There may be different specifications for different size bolts, bolts in different positions,
tightening bolts in several stages, or a cold engine vs. a warm engine. For example,
in some cases bolts are first torqued to the figure for a cold engine and retorqued to
the figure for a warm/hot engine. Remember that retorquing is NOT required when
installing a FEL-PRO PermaTorque head gasket.
For torque-to-yield applications, head bolts are torqued additional partial turns (shown
as “degrees” in the tables) after reaching a specified torque in foot-pounds. Please
see the following Installation Tips for more information on torque-to-yield bolts.
5. The “Torque Sequence” column shows which diagram to use as the specific bolt
torquing sequence for your engine. All diagrams can be found in numerical sequence
at the back of this publication.
