Blew da head gaskets!

I just blew the head gaskets on my 7.3 turbo IDI. Does anyone have access to the manual for a 94 7.3 TD IDI w/4wd? I need torque specifications and anything else I can get my grubby paws on. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I'm gonna need intake, exhaust manifold, valve cover, turbo housing to exhaust flange, & turbo housing to downpipe for sure as well. Not sure if I'll need any others.

Hey Tyr here's what I looked up in my haynes manual:
Intake: 24ft-lbs
Exhaust manifold: 20ft-lbs
Valve cover: 72in-lbs
I can't find anything in my book on the turbo torque specs that you need. I'm sure someone on here will have the answer, but until then i'll try to get ahold of my ford mechanic buddy and see what he says.

what he said about the other stuff. all i have is turbo mounting bolts 18 ft-lbs and turbo exhaust inlet adapter bolts 36 ft-lbs. it doesnt specify engine on that though. so that may not be it. as for the down pipe "thats about right" tight sounds good. dont it?

I got my Super Duty Haynes from Auto Zone, but I had to order my Haynes diesel engine manual.
