Main and Rod Bearings CM870
Hey guys I'm changing my mains and rods in my driveway and I'm just about done, but had a question. A few Main cap bolts wouldn't tighten the full 180 degrees, two are at 165ish and one 150ish. Is this acceptable? i put a newer sanp on 1" impart gun on them that apparently has 1800 ftlbs of toque and they wont go anymore. to the point the bolt heads are starting to get beat up a bit so i stopped. Should i borrow a friends torque multiplier and keep tightening? Or try new bolts?
If i remove one old bolt and install a new one will this compromise the anarobic sealant?

Also for oil priming, Cummins says to prime oil in through port #5 and to build 10-20 psi, would that be on the dash gauge? Is that the best way? looks like I'm gonna have to buy an electric pump. Also anyone know the best fitting to use/ connect to? I think it’s m14x1.5

Thanks in advanced for all the videos and Q&A/s everyone, i probably wouldn't of had the courage to tackle this job if it wasn't for you guys =)
