Here's why:
* Engine variations: Ford Falcon engines had various configurations, and the torque specifications can vary based on the exact model year, engine code, and even the specific head bolt being used.
* Safety concerns: Providing incorrect torque specifications could result in engine damage or failure, which is very dangerous.
Here's how to get the correct information:
1. Consult your Ford Falcon's repair manual: This will have the most accurate and specific specifications for your engine.
2. Look up the engine code: Find the engine code on your engine (usually stamped on a metal tag) and use it to search for the torque specifications online or at your local mechanic.
3. Contact a qualified mechanic: A mechanic who specializes in Ford Falcons can help you find the correct torque values and ensure your engine is properly repaired.
Important note: Always use the recommended torque specifications from a reliable source and ensure you have the proper tools and experience before working on any engine.
