    looking for main bearing cap and bed plate torque specs

    I'm rebuilding a PRV V6 for my engine diagnosis and repair class and I was wondering if anyone on here knew what the Main Bearing Cap and Bed Plate Torque specifications are because I have been having a hard time looking for those specifications. Your help would be much appreciated. Will post pictures soon of the process of rebuilding the engine when I get the chance.

    The engine fastener torque specs are in the Workshop Manual. Looks like it answers half of your questions.

    You can find that in the Resources section of this forum.

    C:02:02 has the diagram
    C:02:03 has the callouts

    Main cap bolts: Pre-torque to 20ft-lb, then angular-tighten 75deg

    The diagram shows what look like the bed plate bolts, but no callout of those bolts or a torque spec. that I can spot.

    Maybe one of our PRV-rebuilding pros on the forum has your bedplate bolt answer?
