Torque Specs

Hi All,

I have a 1996 3.0 v6 Ranger and I was curious the torque specs for the two bolts on the thermostat housing. I couldn’t find any online, perhaps it’s just tighten them till they’re nice and snug. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Iscar

Yes, just "snug"

Need inch-pound torque wrench not foot-pound
210in/lb
so about 18ft/lb

Most ft/lb torque wrenches are unreliable under 40ft/lb
