    Torque them down to 45 ft. lbs. and stretch to .0055.

    Make sure to also tighten them down (both bolts) at the same time! DO NOT do one at a time. They must seat properly. I know it is almost impossible to tighten both at the same time, so tighten each in small increments. I know this will take some time, but it is better than ruining a crank/rods. Good luck.
