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.

Hi,
what I found so far:
this is coming out of the ford 2000 3000 4000 5000 repair manual, it's a big document!
