Default main cap clearance help

starting on my tt 5.3 lm7 (stock)
and was wondering what you guys are setting the mains and rods at. I checked my #1 and it was at .0020 tq at 50 on outside and 60 on inside. that sound right?

Do you have a service manual? As the 10 mm main bolts/studs are torque to yield.

The main bearing clearance is .0008-.0025, so your in spec.
