GOOD MORNING, AS I SAID IN MY PREVIOUS POST. I AM GOING TO DROP THE PAN AND CK THE ROD AND MAIN BEARINGS FOR THE CAUSE OF MY ENGINE NOISE. I AM RETURNING FROM FLA TOMORROW AND HOPE TO GET TO THE PAN DROP NEXT WEEK. CAN ANYONE ADVISE THE TORQUE SPECS FOR THE CONNECTING ROD AND MAIN BEARING BOLTS?? I BOUGHT A MANUAL ON A C/D BUT I CANT GET MY COMPUTER TO READ IT. THANKS

TM 9-1840A, Ordnance Maintenance, Engine (Dodge T 245) Clutch (Borg and Beck Model 11828) Dated 1952 lists the values as:

Main bearing cap bolts: 80-85 foot-pounds. Rod caps nuts: 45 to 50 foot-pounds.
