Big end bearings weight dont match.

Im going to call today. The stock spec is way way too high for these bolts. I know that.
Thanks also its an Esprit SE turbo. The block was on its near final revision. Which is good because the components are way nicer than older models. If I have to take the sump back off its going to suck as I have a stock windage tray and it seals to the sump pan and the block in a sandwhich. But I'f I need to I will. No sense in ruining a new motor. I know its not under. I am probably over but not by a ton. Ill ask the guys who have the competeing kit what they use as the bolt is the same. To only difference is the rod is finished better and has a 50 gram lighter mass per rod because of this.
 
S********************************** Engine builder says no...... 70NM... Sump has to come off .Good news is there should be no damage.

EDIT: UPDATE: The torque has been reset and the sump cover is back on.

yes that 52 ft lbs , sounds FAR more reasonable for the rod bolt diameters in question
 
All set! All in one piece. waiting for the trans to get an o ring replaced and shell be all bolted up. Right now the rear of the motor is sitting on a block and the front is bolted in. Turns out the slop I had in my on off throttle was the diff.... So I need a new transmission. but not before I annihilate this one. :D
BTW re sealing it was not half as bad as tearing off the previous guys mess.
