yes, I didn't open the box yet.
Hopefully that cut sheet is in the box.
Did you read the "Footnote" ?

I’d give consideration to OEM TTY fasteners or wait for UOA results.
Just saying.

Torque sheet is in the box. Main cap #1 is off. What do we think? Crank looks great. Bearing looked ok I guess. Zero grooves. No discoloration either.
Thoughts?

And quick glance looks more than acceptable to me.

Did you read over the ARP Footnote in the instructions ?

Yes I did and I have them right here. Am I missing it? I’m looking for something like “hey dumb dumb the special stud is #X in the torque sequence”

Footnote;
The ARP extra clamping force and the main journal dimension changing.

#5 was a pia to get out. The bearing doesn’t look terrible, there is a wear mark but certainly not any cause of glitter in the oil. The other three mains should be straight forward getting out.
