Silver Pig is right if you did it right the first time you don't need to redo it if you did not do it right the first time all I can say is owell.

I have a friend who went to a Disel school, then worked at a Cat Dealer for 14 years. Farmed and over hauled many many eng. since the only thing he likes to do is run the over head over at about 100hrs.

Why would you need to retorque your connecting rods? If they have worked loose, it was because of improper assembly, and the inserts are probably damaged. I have heard of torque-turn on connecting rod bolts, and retorqueing heads after running, but never have I heard of a manufacturer requiring main bearing caps or rod bolts to be re-torqued after assembly.
As far as the oil, drain it into a clean container and reuse it, but for <$20, what is the point.

Silver,

You are right. No need to "re-torque" rods or mains...

In fact, I've never heard of that one.

Yup. But use RTV instead of a gasket.
