What are the rod and main bolt torque, and the main bolt bed plate torque.
Thanks Ray

Answer
Hi Ray,
The 'connecting rod cap-nuts' are tightened to 40 foot-pounds + 1/4 turn
There are three types of bolts relative to the main bearings:
In the order of torqueing:
inner main cap bolts to 15 foot-pounds + 1/4 turn
then measure crank end play
install connecting rods and measure side clearance
Install windage tray, then lube bolts (also called outer main bolts) and tighten to 20 foot-pounds + 1/4 turn
Install main cap tie (horizontal) bolts and tighten to 250 inch-pounds
There are a lot of specifics/steps that you should know if you don't have a good manual. I could copy and postal mail you about 7 pages from the '04 manual tomorrow if you have the time to wait.
