Default Please help me

Well I put the new crank and bearings in tonight but i realized that the rod bolts are torque to yield as well as the main cap studs and bolts. So now i need more hardware (the local dealership loves me). My question is the torque spec and degree of yield for new OEM hardware. I got the torque sheet off LS1howto i just want to double check it.

All i know is when this is done the sexy black bitch better fly.

You're building an engine without a Helms or some other spec sheet?? Wow....how do you know the bearing clearances, crank endplay, rod side clearance, etc are right?
