I've seen 3 posts and all say different answers .

I'm after torque figures for:

2.0 zetec blacktop std engine

Main bearing caps
Big end Conrod caps

I haven't got a Haynes to hand .


Thanks in advanced

mains 43nm stage 1
85nm stage 2

big ends 25nm stage1
90degrees stage 2 (renew bolts) (auto-data)

These are for a 2.0 blacktop from a 2001 focus, I have a haynes in the garage that I could check tomorrow evening.

Karl that is silver top I'm led to believe torque figures are different?

Karl @ FPT

That's a black top mate, 1998-2000 and the engine code in the top left is NGD, silver top is NGA.

Karl @ FPT

Here's the silver top...

Haynes says 85 nm for the mains, for the big ends 15 nm then 90 degrees.

Are these the same torque setting for no for a mk1 Frs?

mains will be the same but rods may be different as the RS uses different rods to a standard zetec.
