1997 Head Bolt Torque Specs and Order?

Hey guys I can't seem to find anything anywhere on the Head Bolt Torque specs and firing order for the 97 3.0. I can literally find any other year EXCEPT for mine.
Thanks for any help guys!

Welcome to the forum

That's because the Head Bolts were changed around 1997/1998, so yours could use either type, regular or TTY(torque to yield)
You can use either type, the TTY head bolts are better, which is why Ford used them

So first you need to know WHAT bolt you got, always get new head bolts, with TTY you have to, but some reuse regular bolts, not a good idea IMO
Regular head bolt torque here: Head Bolt torque - The Ranger Station Forums

TTY bolt torque here: https://www.justanswer.com/ford/42yp...-required.html
And order for tighting
Any time you see "rotate 90deg", or any "degree", its a TTY bolt
