No, the correct torquing procedure is to torque them to 11 ft-lbs, then turn another 60-65 degrees. If that happens to be 32 ft-lbs, perfect.
The rod nuts (haha) do not need to have extreme torque on them. If you overtorque them, it can cause the rod end to become out-of-round and pinch the bearing on the crank journal causing premature bearing failure. Follow the specs! Do not make assumptions or it could end up badly, especially with the bottom end components.
