west bend 820's and E bay

I didnt mind the pressed bearings on my Rokon 820 rebuild , but I would prefer your route with that bearing setup on my next project .I have a set of those crazy expensive alloy rod bolts and was curious what you like to torque them at , I cant remember the torque specs , but it seemed a lil much for the cap , Im not "for sure" , but I torqued em  85-90ish inchlbs.

I bought a preset WIHA torque wrench that's in NM, but is equal to 112 In./Lbs. in English. I asked Bonbright, and he's fine with that number when using the 310/320KSI screws. Been using it now for a long time. Probably time to get it recalibrated. Don't torque any other type of screw to that number, and don't go any higher on the Bonbright bolts. The later rod cap is fine at that figure as well. Ted
