What are the torque specs for the cam gear bolt, thrust plate, and lifter spider on these engines? Haven't looked in the book for the cam, but I have for the other and have not found. Either I'm blind or its not in these. I was just thinking about using loktite on the spider and the thrust plate and leave it at that.
 
The Cam Thrust Plate screws are to be tightened to 8-14 Nm. Cam Gear Bolt to 40-50 Nm. Not sure what you are refering to as the lifter spider . Info from a Ford Engine Assembly procedure used at the factory I have a copy of.

If you mean the lifter guide plate bolts that spec. is 10-14 Nm.

To convert Nm to Ft Pounds torque divide by 1.3558
To convert Nm to Inch Pounds torque divide by .11298
