Torque to Yield....what an unnerving procedure

Your saying that your shop manual says torque them down in 2 steps correct?

Not This Method
1. Torque to 28-31 lb/ft
2. Tighten an additional 90 degrees
3. Back off bolt one turn
4. Torque to 28-31 lb/ft
5. Tighten an additional 90 degrees ( I'm wondering what the torque value is about now)
6. Tighten an additional 90 degress ( I know I'm gritting my teeth as I'm expecting the bolt to break off in the damn block)

I'm saying that I followed the above procedure exactly. I've also said,......I have a 2 valve 4.6 in the car.

I'd have to go home and refresh my memory on the exact procedure, but it directed me to tighten down in multiple steps, ending with an additional 90-degree twist. That last 90-degrees was a bear with my 18" breaker bar.
 
The 89 Mustang Factory manual shows 2 steps for the 5.0 engine:
pass 1: 55-65 ft/lb
pass 2: 65-72 ft/lb

There is no mention of torque to yield.

Torque to yield was a feature on modular engines.
 
I'm saying that I followed the above procedure exactly. I've also said,......I have a 2 valve 4.6 in the car.


And I asked if his shop manual said to torque things down in 2 steps where you said.
The Chilton manual I have details a 6 step procedure for installing the damn head bolts
I didn’t see where you ever said you had a 4.6 in any of the post prior what you did say was
Don't have a 5.0. I have one of those "other" Mustang engines.
 
As stated by Jrichker the 1989 Mustang Shop Manual says to use the 2 step method to torque the cylinder head bolts.
This is from my 1989 Ford Mustang Shop Manual which hopefully the Ford ASE Technicians use and not the Chilton or Haynes Manual.

My post is from the factory 1993 Mustang service manual that " the Ford ASE Technicians use".

I wouldn't use Chilton's or Haynes' manual for anything other than a firestarter.
 
And I asked if his shop manual said to torque things down in 2 steps where you said.

I'm sorry. See you are one of the "OG's" here. But I gotta ask,.........Did you just awake from a coma or something? Do you live at 123 Under a Rock Lane? I didn't think there was one member left here that didn't know I had what I had. ( It's not like I haven't made everybody sick from the sight of it)
I mean, Of the few people I know;
I know that Wythors REALLY likes a certain shade of green.
I know that Nikwoac actually is an engineer and just doesn't play one on TV.
I know that SSeater flew all the way from Texas to somewhere in NC to get his Calypso hatch.
I know that 91 Notchback LX Thinks More Optional Parts Are Required.
I Know that90Stang5speed prays each night that he wont become the first man to be killed from a cataclysmic turbo failure.
I know That Lars D has the same Dodge disease that 91 Notchback LX has.
I know That 95 Blue Stallion has the Wheels everybody wanted me to get.
I know That Adams91LX Kept wanting me to get a black version of what I already had.
I know that Darthcual has a thing for the Lord of the rings.
I know that slow 90 coupe is too young.
I know that smokin Joe gives me more credit than I deserve.
I know there are at least two guys here that cant stand me.
I know Shaolin Crane prefers Vegas to anything, and thinks an LS series engine powers God's golf cart.
Thread search for something that looks like this:
Finally! 89 Notch 2v swap PROGRESS Thread PROJECT: 89mach1

Then you'll know I have a stupid 2v ( that requires an unorthodox T.T.Y. process for the head bolts) in a fox.
 
In your arrogant way of saying (I’m Sorry) only means to me you can’t stand for someone or for that matter anyone that you don’t know has the audacity since you’re so arrogant to posted on your thread asking about something other than what YOU POSTED, with a question about a different method that they’ve read before, well excuse me!

My guess is the reason you had to say I know, I know, I know, I know etc, is to make you feel like you have a following of people which only prove one thing me and that is you don’t have a following of people otherwise with your arrogance you would have posted them also.
Not everyone knows you as much as you might want to believe that (Oh please excuse me for stepping on your arrogance once again) but after reading your post above I can understand exactly why I’ve never read one of your post before, and probably the reason many others haven’t also.

And as far as me awaken from a coma or do you living under a rock….. How many times do you need to read “DON’T” use a Chilton use a real shop manual?
It’s been posted 2 or 3 times in this thread alone not to use the Chilton Manual but then again you’re way too arrogant to take advice for anyone.

So let me give you a little advice: hopefully you know how to use the search feature since you’ve seem to have been on the site longer than day? Next time you need to know which manual to use the Search!

:lol: you do realize he has a 4.6L SOHC V-8 don't you? I mean to give tech advice without even reading this thread is somewhat silly, no? It seems fairly clear to me that he has a 4.6.

I totally disagree with everything you just said. I knew it was a 4.6, but at the same time I have no mechanical experience with these engines.

Jeez,.... seems I can't go a day w/o somebody complaining about me pissing in their wheaties.

#1. I wasn't posting the thread asking for "how to do it" advice,...I was merely making a statement.

#2. You need to turn off (or at least down) the anti-rambling setting on your replies, That first paragraph from you has me still going,...WTF?

#3. Whether or not everyone "knows me" wasn't my purpose in doing the "I know" thing . The point is/ was, that I pay attention to what alot of other people say and do ( and have done). If you'd taken the time to do your own search of the link I offered, you'd see it's been read over 25,000 times (in the last year). How many other people do you think are left here that haven't read it? ( well,.... other than you at least)

#4. Going hand-in-hand w/ the above, had you been a Noob, I would've considered that and not hit you w/ the "where you been hiding" references. Fact is, you're not. Still has me wondering where the hell you've been since may of 2010,( when I showed up here) as I have regularly polluted this forum almost daily for over 18 months now.

#5. If you consider yourself damaged in any way by my "arrogance" I suggest you do another search and copy and print the Un-official Butthurt grievace form from the un-official Butthurt thread. Fill it out completely, and legibly in BLACK INK ONLY. Once complete, make three copies, throw one in the trash, make a really cool airplane out of the second, and mail the third to: Noobz347, 1716 Where does it hurt lane, Kiss it mommy, CA. 90012

Seriously, I was playing w/ you. Go have a beer on me.

At no point in this rambling, incoherent, nonsensical tirade did you ever so much as skirt the line bordering on an inking of an iota of any kind of a shadow of sentence structure, grammar, diction, or any of the other conventions of standard written English. Attempting to read the first paragraph actually made smoke come from my scalp. Thank you very much.
 
I'm worried. What if I really did hurt his feelings? Try as I may, my arrogance keeps rearing it's ugly head.I mean,.. it's like I have a split personality or something....It's like my arrogance is my,.. my Mr Hyde!!:eek: I've began to start referring to my arrogance as he and him (At least when he and I are talking to each other) Just when I think I've been able to get him under control, he rears his ugly head and BOOM! there he is. Pissing in peoples' Wheaties, Kicking the neighbors dog, Stealing candy from little kids, Where will it all end???. Seems like more and more,.................He is becoming....(dramatic cliffhanger music prior to a shocking revelation) .....ME! :runaway: .

I fear soon I'll never be able to socialize in any scenario, as I will not be able to control him,It'll just be full time MR HYDE and I'll be lost. I must take control before it's too late. I'll have to put a bullet in that man's head. Alas, ending Hyde, means my demise as well,....but if it means that I'll never offend another, then it'll be a worthwhile endeavor.

Now would be the time to visualize me fighting w/ Hyde as we tear up my laboratory, ( the one in my garage, under my house) setting fire to it in the struggle. The remaining formula, (******* 121) spills on the floor as the fire consumes all of my notes destroying any possibility of making any more. A gun suddenly becomes available from some drawer in the carnage,.... and we wrestle each other for control. WHO has it?? is it me or Hyde? OH NO! It's in Hydes' hands,....No,....it's in mine......His/mine, his/mine,.. BANG! I slump to the floor.
Hyde throws back his head, roaring w/ laughter and yells "Now I'm free to pee in all the Wheaties!!!" And as he attempts to turn and walk out of the burning lab,...he stumbles. What's this? (he notices that he too is bleeding from the same wound ) He staggers,..and bangs into a bunch of stuff as he heads for me and falls to the floor.
(right on top of me I might add)
As we both die. The good Dr Madmike, and the Horrible Mr Hyde became one, Ultimately becoming the good Dr. Madmike as the place envelops in fire. The End.:pop:

I really hate using torque-to yeild bolts on my modula... I mean, LS1 2JZ powered drift fox.

I hate you, Redfox.

I hate Redfox.
