45nm i believe, James has just done his & i'm pretty sure thats what he said the Haynes manual says.
Make sure you don't mix the endcaps up as well, they are matched to the rods

   That is correct Haynes advices 45nm

45nm is what is in the Haynes manual.  If you have uprated to an arp kit they come with there own settings.

i was doing this with steve last night, we found it in the haynes in the end.
the car needs a new crank now though.
cheers for the help.

Why, whats up with it??

If it's had a grind before you may need over sized shells if they are loose

well, the engine had a knock so we fitted the new shells but there was still too much play in one, took it off again and the crank was all scored and worn. he's ordered a re-ground one and oversize shells so it should be back together soon.
