10x1.25 main bolt torque spec is 55nm / 6.5 kg-m / 47 ft-lb make sure to put oil on bolt threads and washers also after torquing each cap rotate engine ofter to check for binding hope that helps |

To find the correct bearing size for each journal, use the provided chart to properly reference the code markings on block and crankshaft |
Re: what's the torque specs for main bearing caps?? (fridaytech)
basically there are about four different size main bearings.... you have to figure out which journal needs which size. kind of a pain in the ass but thats how these engines are

Re: what's the torque specs for main bearing caps?? (ef8sleepr)
yes they come in a set usually standard size but you can order individual bearings buy color chart. your repair manual may have the main bearing color chart in it..

Re: what's the torque specs for main bearing caps?? (fridaytech)
any good sites that sells individual sets??

Let me put it this way, the "sets" are usually like ACL, or whatever, those are middle of the road sizes, or green according to the factory chart.
You can only get individual bearings from Honda themselves and they cost quite a bit more once you get all 10 halves, but you can be assured of having consistent and known oil clearences. Janos |

Re: what's the torque specs for main bearing caps?? (ef8sleepr)
The sets only comes in ONE size, green. If you want some other size, you have to buy honda bearings. Yes you need to tighten them down some or you'll have too much oil coming out.
You should be using green plastigage. The red one is thicker, and has a different scale. Janos |

EDIT: I tried it and it is between specs with the green plastigauge and no binding:-D |
So 33 ft/lbs worked?
