Torque sequence for main caps...
Torque sequence for main caps... Anyone have the torque sequence for the main caps and a picture showing the seqence numbers?
Also, with arp main studs, is it reccomended to torque, undo, and retorque a few times?

I have been searching for this answer for a week now. I googled the same subject and this page came up on ask so I thought I would freshen it up. There are plenty of people on here assembling engines and I refuse to believe that no one knows the freaking sequence. I am sure there is an on line GM manual some where. I just have to find it. I will be assembling my short block next week so I need to know soon.

Torque inners, then outers, then the side bolts seems to be the sequence.

I have been told by a couple of builders that you need to line hone the mains when switching the main cap fasteners. I'm not sure if you are doing a final assembly or what, just thought that I would share that with you.
Damn this thread is old. 2004?

Here is the torque sequence courtesy of braap, he emailed this in powerpoint and I just put it in word. This is how I would have done it had i not had a diagram anyway. I always torque most thing from the inside out.
So do you cross up? Like instead of going 12345678910 would you go 12435687910? Basically saying do the first torque of each cap on the same side, or first torque on opposite sides.
