    I checked the manual and didn't find the torque for the cam sprocket bolts, but if they are 3/8-24 I would say you would be safe at 35 ft.lbs, looking at the torque values for the other components listed.

    Alright gang. Packing pistons now. Pretty sure this is proper ring placement. And by the way, the rod bearings I got from Cars suck. Oil feed hole does not line up well. I'll tweak to make due. Not worth contacting them. Plus I'm on a deadline.

    Second guessing my oil control rings. It's correct per #s. These are Grant rings.
