Re: Proper torque for rod caps

Of course there was no Packard specification for torque back then, mechanics were trained to do it by feel. But Motor's Manual suggests 45-50 for the 385 engine with poured bearings. There are suggestions from folks that rebuild these engines routinely to torque to 45, no higher.
