That 90 degree turn on those head bolts seems like it is too much.ive done two of the 2.9 engine rebuilds and the worst part is that last turn on the heads it seems like you are gonna break something.
Highly recommend King cylinder heads. Also used them for my Bronco II since it had coolant in the oil, no issues since and I've had them on for the past 2 years. Guy on the phone was nice and got me the heads pretty quick.
It was actually from an old Haynes manual that came with the truck, I’m sure there’s some forums online that has everything listed as well. I would recommend picking up a manual for these things they come in pretty handy especially for the wiring.
same heads i just dropped on my 1988 2.9l! still running great at 4000 miles
the good old cracked heads on the 2.9 cologne 😂, ive got 6x cylinder heads already 4 of them are cracked
Long time 2.3 , 2.8 and 4.0 Cologne V6 guy here. Nice work!

Ooh this video brings back nightmares of my 2.9 experiences. Was never a good time.

Do you happen to have the Amazon link to the exhaust manifold bolts you used?
I just checked and unfortunately the listing is gone.
Going to replace my head this week do you have the link to the forum you used?
This should be it. www.broncocorral.com/tech_library/2-9l-cylinder-head-removal-installation/

It’s definitely not a good feeling doing it.
Are you able to provide a link to the company you got the heads from? Thanks

Dart makes aftermarket replacements for the 2.9l which are heavier duty in the known areas prone to cracking on the original heads.
Where can I find the torque specs?
