Got a main bolt/cap torque question
Got a main bolt/cap torque question I've got a buddy who's got a 99 Z and after watching me recently pull my motor and build it he decided that he wanted to follow suit. Problem is he's got it back together now and ready to go back in the car and he asked me a question that I'm not 100% on. He got all of his torque specs from LS1howto and when he torqued the mains he said he may have gone a little too tight on the extreme rear cap. He torqued them all to 22lb/ft and then turned the inner bolts first to 80 degrees, but when he got to the last cap he accidentally turned it a little further. He said he probably went about 87-90 degrees on both of the inner bolts. He asked if this is going to cause a problem or mess anything up and I told him that I really don't know but that he should have brought this up before everything was back together...
What do you guys say? I'm not sure if 8 to 10 degrees will cause a big problem or not but now he's freaking out about it.
Thanks

No its not going to cause a problem to go a little further. Bolts that are torque to yield that you degree are all going to have a variance in their actual clapming force anyway. Dont worry about it.
