I am going to be reinstalling my motor in the next few weeks adn I was at teh local dealership dying when he told me the price of new piston rings and after I woke up I asked him torque specs on the connecting rod bolts. he told me step 1 30 ft lbs,step 2 60 ft lbs and step 3 60 degree turn???? anyon ehave the final step in a number?? and also when I reset the head do you guys run the stud all the way down and leave it or do you pull it back 1/4 turn and let it 'float' in the block..
