You've got it, however I talked to another individual involved with the product. Apologies for the confusion.
Before torqueing them down, I made the call. While on the call, I torqued them. The bearing caps never came back off or experienced more than a 1/4 turn on the crank before torqueing.
I'm stepping out to pick up the 2020cp bearings rather than the cb-745P that I had previously used once I hit send.
The motor is apart, cleaned and ready to go. The plan is to:
Inspect and clean new bearings
Drill bearings for the #2 and #4 oil passages
Install bearings dry
Install crank dry
Put plasti gauge on journals
Install caps dry
Torque hardware to 55 ft-lbs
Remove caps
Measure/record plasti gauges
Remove crank
Apply proper lubrication
Reinstall crank/caps (ensure all bearings stay in their original place) and torque to 55 ft-lbs
Celebrate!
