The most important tourque specs are the Connecting rod bolts.It is recommended to be torqued between 45 to 65 inch pounds (NOT FOOT POUNDS) But it is wise for you to check the connecting rod journals dimensions for ware and also the cylinder walls for extensive ware before you order the rings. If you plunk down @ 60 dollars for rings and your motor is gone, you will be out the money and wait for them. Keep in mind that rings for this motor are only available in standard dimensions. Also the block will have to be sealed with adhesive M from 3M and those bolts are tourqued between 65 to 80 inch pounds.
