Ive been searching all over the internet and been finding a lot of different answers. Im rebuilding my LS6 out of a 2005 CTS-V. Can anyone tell me the torque specs for the rod bolts? Ive heard anywhere from 15ftlb then 60 degs to 15ftlb then 85 deg. Someone shed some light on this please.

Wow thanks for the info. I looked in a 2002 corvette service manual and it said only go 75 deg. Im guessing 85 deg is the correct torque being that it was updated in 2007.
