With over 200K miles on my 92 4.0 Ranger, I was thinking it might be a good idea to check the intake bolt torque.
I have read that there are eight 10mm lower bolts to check but what is the torque spec for these? Also, when checking torque on an intake, I always loosen each bolt and re-torque it to spec so that nothing else moves -- I don't want to create a problem where there isn't one already. Not sure if this approach is recommended on the 4.0 or not.
What about the upper intake bolts? Does the upper intake often get loose as well? I think there are six, what type are these and what is the recommended torque?
