What is the sequence to torque the mains of a 302, 1993. Anyone have a diagram? My manual does not address the sequence.thanks

You need to start with setting the thrust bearing first on the third main and then work to each end. Start at about 30 ft/lb then then about 50 ft/lb then to final torque.

You set the thrust by prying the crank towards the front of the engine to square up the thrust faces for even load/wear.

Hope that helps.
