Dexta Torque Setting

Post by Pozzo »

Hello everyone!
I have a 1967 Ford Dexta 2000.

I'm replacing the head gasket but i need some informations.
Does anyone know the valve tappet clearance and head bolt torque setting?

The repair manual for the original Dexta says "55 to 60 lbs" but you have a later 2000/Dexta
Here's a useful link:

Last row right? The first row is for the older dexta Version i think.

Sorry mate, that one is outside my experience. Might take a bit of searching on the web or give a tractor repair shop a pack of biscuits for morning tea and ask them!
Repair manuals are easy come by on the likes of Ebay, check through the 'World series' part of the forum - never know what gems are in there.
