4wd

Ta very much, its a 2wd head, on 4x4 block, so which applies
Also, i read about leaving the gasket to settle, whats all that about?

 

There are several different ways/setting to do it, even ford could not make up it's mind!
I do it in stages 30lbft, 60lbft, 90lbft, 120lbft.
Then leave for a minimum of two hours, but preferably longer, where I can I leave overnight, then retorque to 120lbft, as they will have loosened as gasket compresses.
