Eric, Both. On the head bolts, I tighten them gradually and in a pattern. I tighten everything snug then tighten everything to 70 Ft-Lbs in a pattern starting with the center nut. Then I work in a circular/spiral pattern towards the ends. When everything is tightened to 70 ft-lbs, I tighten all the nuts to 80 ft-lbs in this same pattern and then everything to 90 ft- lbs. On the rods, I use the same stepwise pattern but with only two bolts, it is simplier. In other words, Tighten one to 70 Ft-Lbs then the other. Then 80 ft-lbs and finally 90 Ft-Lbs. Hope this helps.

The 90 ft-lbs would be ok for the head. It has been many, many years since I torqued any rod caps. Seems like it is more in the 45 ft-lbs range. I did help my brother a few years back when he was overhauling a Cummins 444. If memory serves me the mains were torqued to 300 ft-lbs. That really makes you grunt, even with a long handled torque wrench. :>) Somebody will jump in here with the correct rod torque specs.
