main bearing cap bolts
I ran into this same issue of reading the wrong torque specs but i over torqued my main bearing cap bolts to 129ft lbs when they were only supposed to be to 88ft lbs i believe. Should i replace the bolts? They don't look stretched but don't want to risk anything with a brand new motor. Help anyone please.

The stretch will not be noticeable by eye. Cheaper to replace now - than after catastrophic failure.
