    Wow! A Falcon in Croatia! Welcome to our forum, Zoran-Rados. Do your friends call you Zoran?
    The cylinder bore you state is definitely that of a 200 cubic-inch engine. The head bolt torque specification is 65-75 foot-pounds (88-102 newton-meter). Connecting rod cap bolts are tightened to 19-24 foot-pounds (26-33 newton-meter). I'm not sure what you mean by valve measure. These engines have hydraulic lifters so you don't set the valve lash (clearance from valve stem to rocker with lifter down). My Motor's Manual says the adjusment should be .067-.200 inch (~2-5 mm) with the lifter COLLAPSED. Once the engine is started and the oil pressure is up, the lifter will fill with oil and remove the gap ("lash").
