4.0 main cap girdle retaining nuts torque?

[Dr. Dyno]

I know the main bearing cap studs should be torqued to 80lbft but does anyone know what the girdle retaining nuts are supposed to be torqued to? This applies to '96+ 4.0 engines.

The bearing cap brace nuts torque is 35 ft lbs...this is from the 97 factory manual.

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks! :cheers:
