i have a 96 impala. a month ago, i took out the (stock)crankshaft. i had it cut and put back in with new bearings. 2 weeks later the crankshaft started making loud noise. it turns out it was overtightened when it was put back in. i took it back out a week ago and i had it cut again. so before i put it back in, i need to know how much torque to apply when tightening it. any links to this info would be appreciated

I believe mains are 75ftlbs, But you really need to spend about $12 on a Haynes manual, or Chiltons and get it right. They should be done from the center out to the ends in increments like 25 - 50 - 75.
