From memory, something like 55lbft for the big ones, and 24 for the small ones. I'll check later.
They seem a hell of a lot tighter to remove, than the tightening torque figures suggest.

my comment isnt as stupid as yours sounded to me

How do you get the crank out of a CVH, or Vauxhall engine etc..

Whip the sump off.. and....

See what I meant?? without having seen the engine... but thinking about the stress the above way would put on the bearings it seems obvious..
