I just installed the last piston and am ready to torque the rod bolts.
My "Motor" manual torque specs for the rod bolts indicate sixty ft pounds. That seems high because I had just done a 454 Chevy that also uses 3/8" rod bolts and the torque spec is fifty??? Also, do I really need the cotter pins? No other motor I've ever built needed pins and, I would need to back off tightness to install a cotter pin? Thanks again, Bob
