i was wondering if anyone knows what the torque specs are for the connecting rod caps. i had to rebuild my engine and i lost the piece of paper with the torque specs. I have a 1995 base 3000gt.

Thank you very much,
Aaron

ok thank you. a machine shop printed something off line saying the torque specs in the service manual is wrong and they are suppose to be 67 ft/lbs for a 2 bolt main, is that true?

wait the way i worded my last question was kind of confusing, sorry. The first question i asked was what the torque settings were suppose to be on the connecting rod caps, you said 14 ft/lbs.

my second question was are the torque settings for the cradle/ main bolts suppose to be 67 ft/lbs? Sorry for wording it in a confusing way.

Ok lets start over. I deleted my last posts to avoid confusing because apparently my brain doesnt want to work right...Hopefully these ones help you out better

cam bearing caps:
Front and back bearing cap 14 ft-lbs
2,3,4 bearing caps 8 ft-lbs

Connecting rod cap nut:
38 ft-lbs

Bearing cap bolts:
67 ft-lbs

Connecting rod caps are supposed to be MUCH more than 14 ft-lbs. The 14 ft-lbs i gave you earlier was for the cam bearing caps in the heads, so you can just ignore those seeing as thats not what you asked me.
