I'll mark'em with a punch before removing them. Number punches if they're handy or a number of dots corresponding with the number of the main cap.

| Question of the day.... our oil slinger has a keyway but it doesnt register on anything on the crank shaft, do we not have the crank gear installed far enough? Doesnt look like it can go any farther, but????

It is held in place by the harmonic damper. I think the key way is in place so it'll fit over that 1st key.

| Next bump in the road... kids install the #1 and #5 pistons, go to torque the rod bolts, we used 50lbs-ft. per the James Eikman book. Took the fasteners to 30 first then came back to go to 50. One rod bolt broke and on the other rod it feels like the nut has stripped on the bolt. This is a brand new Napa torque wrench, I assume it is accurate?? Whats happening? Would hate to install all new rod bolts, I know alot of people do but alot of engines seem to go together fine with the old ones???

Dan, there different personal preferences for torqueing bolts etc, personally i would go 20,35.45 max, rotating crank slightly on each setting to check if bearing hasnt bitten on crank, which will show any clearance problems that may occur. I believe torque setting is 45 lb and i think you may consider replacing the rod bolts. i would recheck wrench stting. this is only a suggestion as there are other views just as satisfactory. regards bill.

You could likely peek through the timing cover/fuel pump opening to insure the damper is holding the slinger tight.
