Gen 3 coyote rod bolt torque specs

[JGUNTER]

Blew the ringlands on #7 and 8 on my twin turbo setup and am rebuilding it. Does anyone have factory rod bolt torque specs?

I believe they are all: Tighten the connecting rod bolts. Torque: Stage 1: 18 lb.ft (25 Nm) Stage 2: 24 lb.ft (33 Nm) Stage 3: 90° ...or at leasd the GT350-500 are.

Coyote and 5.2 use different rod bolt sizes and torque specs. OEM spec for Gen3 coyote is Stage 1: 177 inlb, Stage 2: 28 ftlb, Stage 3: 105 deg.

Oddly, least last time I checked, the Ford manual did not instruct to discard and replace rod bolts. Also odd, ARP didn't make a replacement for them. These don't appear to be torque-to-yield and the don't "feel" like it when going through the tightening procedure.

Thank yall for the responses. I broke down last night and bought a manual for the gen 3 and can confirm:
