Block rebuild done: plz re-check before i put on the oil pan

[tsi_turboawd]

So i have completed rebuilding the block with new standard size OEM 1g pistons, rings, and rod bearings all lubed up and everything.
Please verify my torque specs before i put on the oil pan..

Rod bearing caps:
With everything standard(nothing machined) I torqued the rod bearing caps to 18 ft/lbs + 1/4 turn turn according to Chilton manual. Using a plastigauge on all caps i got .0015mm which is the correct spec.

Main bearing caps:
I took out all the bolts but decided not to replace the main bearings, screw em back on, and torqued them the same as the rod bearings 18 ft/lbs + 1/4 turn

Did i torque them all right in SPEC? the crank spins fine also. thx

.. i dont even have the head, its still at the machine shop getting rebuilt. Im picking it up tomorrow bare so i can port n polish it then bring it back again to get re-assembled. Im not soo sure if i really should port/polish the head.

i wouldn't port, but definately polish the exhaust side. If you port, you risk messing up the velocity of the exhaust causing slow spool.

Wait are these the correct specs on a 6-bolt? my chilton manual 'might' be off..
