60 Inner and outer WITH Moly, very important to have the moly or the torque readings will be very different. 18 on the sides is the GM spec with the GM bolts.

What do mean by large and small? I assume you mean 70lb-ft on the inner and outer studs, and 22lb-ft on the cross-bolts?

I guess I'm the only one who gave torque specs for the main studs and not head studs. Anyways, 60 on the inner, 50 on the outer, and 18 on the sides is what I have written down. The local engine builder used the same specs when measuring my bearing clearances.
