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.
