Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Today tried to assemble. Got a reverse. In the overhaul book is written:
327 11/32-24 connecting rod cap 35 ft lbs
327 7/16-14 main bearing cap 80 ft lbs

Tried the main caps, after 70 ft lbs I got a bad feeling, stopped.
tried 35 ft lbs on the rod bolt , 30 ft lbs ok than the bolt would be longer and longer and longer


Now ordering new ARP bolts and try again
