G60 pistons and torque settings

[Caddy-g60 10]

Hi all I’m haveing problems with my rebuild of my g60 engine I can’t seam to find the torque setting for the crank shaft main cap bolts and if they need to be renewed or not. And I’ve purchased a set of wossner forged pistons but they dont have the small Iip at the top of the piston. will this cause me any problems as I’m unsure of what there for. Thanks in advance 👍

Main cap bolts can be reused, torque settings are in the Bentley manual

 

If you've bought Wossner pistons for the G60 engine then they will be fine, just a different crown design

That’s for the info but I don’t have a Bentley manual 😔

Main bearing bolts can be reused. Big end bolts need to be replaced if still using standard rods.

While main bearing bolts "can" be re used and have done successfully in many cases, they are really cheap as chips, as long as you get the 10.9 grade ones and not the so called uprated 12.9 grade as the 12.9's are really too brittle for this application and would also need a different torque setting, Personally for a critical bolt thats cheap I use new ones every time.

 

As GTi_jamo says new big ends needed if on std rods
