360 DTC 400 hour service

rogdan · Jul 14, 2010

I am a little late with the 400 hour service which seems to be change all the fluids (except the coolant) and filters per the owners manual. In addition it calls for the valve clearance to be checked and the head bolts to be torqued. I asked a mechanic about doing this and he asked about the sequence for torqing the head bolts.
The owners manual just gives a list of torqe values for various bolts but nothing about the sequence. Can anyone shed some light on this? I am still looking for a shop manual but have not located one yet and got no reply to my email to LS about one.
Any other advice or additions to the 400 hour service?
Thanks

This is out of the service school manual. Cylinder head bolt torque 58+ or - 4 ft. lbs.( 78.5 + or - 5 N-m). Use three steps to reach the torque for the head. Rocker arm torque is 11+ or - 4 ft. lbs torque. Trac

Valve clearance is .010 cold for both intake and exchaust. Checked several different sources for this. Trac

Trac,
This is much appreciated, has anyone else completed the 400 hour service on a FT 360?

I have a 390 HST and am getting ready to do the 400 hour later this year. I have the service manual and parts manual on mine. I also found some service manuals online on the Mitsibishi engine that's it in. I don't recall anything in the service manual. The owner's manual had more information about what needs done during service periods.

I found the service manual on e-bay. I paid about $40. I just found someone that was selling Farmtrac manuals and wrote them and asked if they had a manual for my model. The manuals that I ended up purchasing from the seller appear to be copies but nonetheless I have the information I needed. If you want the contact info for the seller I can dig it up for you.
