Torque settings
I'm building a '99 4.3 Vortec for my truck, and got stuck torquing down the main bearings.
The manual says the setting is 15 foot pounds + 75 degrees, but I cant really turn the wrench past about 30 degrees before im around 90 foot pounds, and the crank wont spin if it's more than around 15.
It is the same story for all the lower end bolts I've seen.
Am i missing something?
