Okay dokey guys.... here’s a funny of me attempting to use my borrowed snap on torque wrench to tighten the #2 crank cap after adding plastigage.

124/2?If I remember my physics, and I’m too lazy to check the internet, torque = length * force. So if you double the length the torque will be double. Change your torque setting to 124/2 with double the lever arm
Did I cause a moment of tunnel vision?I’m an idiot, the 124 should have been 90. I thought the 124 sounded off for torque of the bearing caps. Duh, that’s your weight!
90/2 but it sounds like you got it
Just the caps are loose, not the nuts.
Okay and forgive me but the bearings I checked are the crank main bearings I thought. Which or what are the rod bearings? Or are you swapping terms? Rod as in the connecting rods that the pistons attach to?
192kThat side-to-side play on the rods is normal. No worries.
How many miles on your engine? I might suggest pulling one rod bearing and seeing what it looks like, it should give you a pretty good indication of how the other five are doing.

Ah so here....four big ones that hold the crankshaft into the block.
