Torque spec for Explorer serp kit

[RedLeg0811]

What torque spec should I do on the timming cover and water pump? Is there one for the altinator and power steering brackets?

Thanks
Martin

This should cover most of your questions.

12-18 ft lbs on both timing cover and wp.

be careful on the alternator, that aluminum bracket is easy to strip. Good news is you can get a longer bolt/nut for that one if you do strip it.

Thanks, Jesse I have that PDF. I was mostly concerned about the aluminum parts more so then the bolts themselves.

Thanks Viper and Lonesouth.

I would use the low range of grade 2 for any bolts going into aluminum.

I always use anti-seize when bolting to aluminum parts.
