[RESOLVED] torque sequence for rod caps

[packinkimber45]

I was wondering if there is a torque sequence for rod caps on a 91 turbo 6 bolt? If so can someone point me to the right directions where this info is. I was also wondering about the main crankshaft caps as well. I only found one through search. I believe like this...

Can someone confirm this on a 91 6 bolt turbo motor please. Also with torque sequence on main caps and if there is on rod caps when they are to be removed is it reverse of the torque sequence or is it the same as tightening. I know it sounds stupid but I need to know and it is not in my haynes manual of my fsm. Thanks in advance.

This is for my rods or were you correcting the torque sequence for picture above? Does it matter wether it is 6 bolt/7 bolt/turbo/non turbo for the sequence? Thanks.

there really is not a torque sequence.. just torque tthem to spec

^ ^ ^ The rod caps don't interact with other parts of the block structure. The torquing sequence for them is irrelevant.

The picture you show is for the crankshaft bearing caps.

It's irrelevant, but there is a torquing sequence for them?

Lol, I know it's for the cranskshaft bearing caps, I was posting it to confirm it is correct for a 6 bolt. In regards to torque sequence for example on main caps, when loosening are you suppose to do reverse of torque sequence or same as torquing? Thanks.

Yes. First you do one, and then you do the other. Always start with the primary.
