These manuals will list torque specs for:
* Cylinder Heads: These are critical and require precise torque in a specific sequence. Incorrect torque here can cause head gasket failure.
* Connecting Rods: Also critical for engine reliability.
* Main Bearing Caps: Essential for proper engine block alignment and oil pressure.
* Intake Manifold: Incorrect torque can lead to leaks.
* Exhaust Manifold: Similar to the intake manifold.
* Other components: Various other parts like valve covers, oil pan, etc., all have specific torque requirements.
Using incorrect torque values can severely damage your engine. Don't attempt this work without a proper repair manual and the correct tools, including a torque wrench. A Haynes or Chilton manual for your specific vehicle would be a good investment. You can usually find these online or at auto parts stores.
