We torque to 80 lbs.
We hold the nut, and torque the square end of the bolt, on the front, and center. The rear main cap, on the nuts.
We pull 80 lbs, and then pull the key hole, no nut grinding. If the caps are not flat, they will stress the babbit. We have always used new lock washers, on the front, and center bolts, and keys on the rear mains. A whole lot easier adjusting, the mains, latter.
After the caps are perfectly flat, they have to be hand fit to the block. Should be void of any movement, even slightly, when trying to rock the caps.
