Anyone know how many ft/lbs to torque the starter bolts on a '93 4.0?

on a 2000 4.0.
Install both bolts, torque the front bolt to 30 ft lb and then the rear bolt to 35 ft lb.
Sounds strange but that's how the manual reads.

Cool, I've been searching but must be looking in the wrong places. I do not have a manual either. That's not much torque, i would suppose loc-tite is recommended?

the manual doesn't indicate loctite, but it wouldn't hurt to use some blue.

Recommended by FSM? No. Recommended by me? Yes.
I've spent an awful lot of time retorquing starter motor screws - just put #242 (or equivalent) on the threads, torque, and call it a day.

Don't forget to clean the threads, Loc-tite hates dirty threads.
