Xf falcon alloy head torque specs

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, got a slight leak coming out of the head of and early cross flow in my Xf falcon. It’s just coming out of the head and onto the block ever so slightly. Just curious to know if anyone has ever re-torqued a head with a similar issue or if anyone has re-torqued a head and has had any success in general. Have a work shop manual somewhere but can’t seem to find it, just wanted to also know what the torque specs are for the head can’t really find a definitive answer after a lot of googling. Thanks in advance

i did a crossflow engine last week and its 70ft/lbs on all except the one the negative terminal bolts to,thats the single bolt closest to front of engine its 55 ft/lbs and when doing a rebuild use some sealer or something on the thread as it goes into the water jacket at the bottom,not 100% you need too but helps not freezing the bolt in there from rust after years of use.i would say your head gasket is gone not a big deal in a day you could unbolt it all and clean up and put new head gasket and done.

While you have the head off check for corrosion and see if the head is flat. Also pay attention to how tight the bolts are, if any are loose or tight then that might mean your engine has been overheated,
