91 7.3 main & rod bearing torque specs
 

Does anyone know the correct torque for main and rod bearings? and in what steps?
What does the workshop manual say about bearing clearance?
i changed the bearings yesterday (but not torqued up yet), now all that remains is to check the clearance with some plastigauge, and get the motor back in.

the book I have states

Connecting rods-
First step 38ft/lb
Second step 51ft/lb
Connecting rod journal -
Diameter 2.4980 to 2.4990"
Taper limit 0.0005"
Out of round limit 0.0003"

Main bearing caps-
First step 75ft/lb
Second step 90ft/lb
Main Journal -
Diameter 3.1228 to 3.1236"
Taper limit 0.0005"
Out of round limit 0.0003"
Runout limit 0.002"
