Just like the title says, i have a ford fs10 compressor off of a 96 explorer. I have taken the compressor apart to check things out and put in a new shaft seal. Putting it back together and was wanting to know what the bolts that hold the compressor together torque to.
Application Ft. Lbs. (N.m)
Compressor Bolts 25-35 (34-47)
Compressor Clutch Hub Nut 10-14 (13-20)
Compressor Head Bolts 18-19 (24.5-26.5)
Compressor Bracket Bolt 31-43 (42-58)

If you feel AllData is correct I will not argue the point. I also have access to a professional service for this information.

I am not trying to argue and I appreciate your info. but since some of my numbers do not "jive" with yours I was wondering where you got your info. from since alldata is all i have.
Did not mean personally argue. I trust my resources but will not debate AllData as they are pretty good also.

so would the bolts in this picture be considered the head bolts?
Main body bolts would be considered head bolts. This link may help also.

Wow. Ask an industy professional a question, then question his data. You are lucky Tim is such a nice guy. Use whatever torque values you have that are so much better than what was posted if you don't trust him.
Make sure you put fresh dye in the system, so you can see all the leaks when you put the system back together.

This is a tough crowd so to be intimidated. The FS10 head bolts need to be torque down to 19ftlb each. Now there is a sequence that needs to be followed when doing so. You will need to put the mounting ears in a vice to keep every thing in-side aligned. Next you will need to tighten the bolts in a cross section in a circular rotation. You will also need to turn the shaft at the same time to make sure nothing gets bound up from misalignment. Make sure you snug them down evenly to prevent bindingâ¦â¦
Hope this helps and good luck!!
Jack, could you explain "in a cross section in a circular motion" to me? Obviously I know what a circular motion is, but the two together are messing with me?
Well you will start with the top left and then go to bottom right. Next, top right bottom left. Hope this helps and good luckâ¦
