Re: 7.3 turbo diesel head removal questions

no the pipe doesnt need to--but--they like to weld themselves into the turbo--or the exhaust manifold--and only the blue wrench will get it loose--been there, when i put the ats parts on--ford designers--

Re: 7.3 turbo diesel head removal questions

The head bolts are torqued in three steps. First step is 65 ft/lb. Second is 90 ft/lb, and the last step is 110 ft/lb. Do you know the torque sequence?
