My service manual says to torque the rod bolts 14.5ft/lbs plus 90* and my mains to 18 ft/lbs plus 90* as well , is that right?

That's what it say's in 7 bolt manuals, and you're suppose to use a torque angle gauge for best results otherwise just guesstimate with markings. ( white out)
Rod bolt stretch is definitely the MOST accurate, followed by angle torquing, then by click click. The worse part is that a bolt stretch gauge is super expensive for a weekend wrench spinner.
