I can't remember exactly, do the same bolts hold on the crank caps AND the girdle? I do know the crank caps should be torqued in proper order to anywhere between 33 and 40 ft-lb's.

alright, took me forever but i found it. the caps are the same girdle of not. my usdm book said the same at 33-40ft lbs.

Got two pistons in... dam things are stiff, hard to turn the crank. They show no signs of marking anything up, but just seem stiff.
