Finally starting to put my 4.9L back together and not sure what bolts go where, some are obvious and some arent. i know i should have labeled them but i was trying to beat the rain and just took them out and put them in a coffee can. is there a chart or diagram that shows what bolts go where?

 

nope,
you'll have to find some guy that has torn his 4.9l down bunches of times, and just happens to know where everything goes........

 

well im sure most guys that have torn their 4.9L down has only done it once. i just got all my bolts and nuts cleaned up and it is dark now. tomorrow after work ill organize them in same sizes and start from short block to top.

 

you post pictures of the bolts you don't know where they go and i'll tell you.

 

Just did my head this weekend, again. Lots of pics too. FYI, if someone tells you an I6 has a blown head gasket it actually has a cracked head.

 

looks like that head has 3 cracks in it.

 

I stopped looking after the first two.

 

yeah i had one that went from exhaust port through water passage into to valve and around combustion chamber into water passage on other side.





cyl 4 crack approx. 5" long

 

my dad has an 85 old blue ford van with carbed 300ci hes had it since 95 and hes had 4 heads on it. they all cracked in cyl 3 and 4. looks like yours is in cyl 3?

 

3 and 4.
