My original Continental engine manual dated 12-01-49 says the following:
1) Install the crankshaft in holding fixture. (Vertical, with prop flange
down according to picture in manual)
2) Lay out the four sets of connecting rods, caps and bolts in numerical
order, according to the cylinder numbers stamped on
their bolt bosses.
3) Insert two bolts in each rod bearing cap with the heads flat against the
cap shoulders
4) Obtain a set of new bearing inserts of the correct size for the
crankshaft. Place an insert in each rod and cap. The inserts must seat
fully, and their ends must project very slightly and equally above the
parting surface.
5) Coat the crankpins and bearings with engine oil. Install each rod and cap
on the proper crankpin, according to cylinder numbers, and be sure that the
numbers on rod and cap bolt bosses will be on top when crankshaft and rod
assembly is installed. Run on the slotted nuts as each rod is installed, in
turn, and tighten to specified torque. Install cotter pins. Bend one leg
down beside the nut and the other toward the bolt end. Cut off the upper leg
so that it will not project beyond the end of the bolt.
NOTE - When connecting rods and caps are installed correctly, the bearing
cap oil squirt holes will point to the opposite cylinders.
This is all that is said about assembling the crank and rods. The torque
limit for the rod bolts as specified in the torque limit table is 400-420
inch pounds for a 3/8-24 bolt.

All
This is a link to the newest publication (SB96-7C) I know of, right off
the TCM web site. <http://www.tcmlink.com/pdf2/SB96-7C.pdf> It says 400-475
IN/LB, using the procedures outlined in the notes.
Read it for yourself.

| Subject: | Rod Bolt Torque? Continental A-65 |
--> Engines-List message posted by: john koning <fltrbg@yahoo.com>
The Continental interchange catalogue says that an A series connecting rod is interchangeable
with the C series rods in engines of the same stroke.That would
be A-65,75 or 80 with C-75 or C-85.The torque spec.for the C series engine is
listed as 400-475 in.lbs.All these rods of both series engines use 3/8-24 bolts
and nuts,so the torque would be the same.

I pulled out our overhaul manual copy here at ECi and it says " The
connecting rod bolts must be assembled on the connecting rods with the

castle nuts and cotter pins." There is not torque value to use.

Help... I'm new to this list and in need of help. I need to torque the
new rod bolts on my Continental A-80 (I know I said A-65 in the subject)
but the Continental Maintenance and Overhaul Manual doesn't list the
torque values.
I hope to set the crank and join the case today and I would be very
appreciative if someone could provide the info.
