There is no sequence for the rod caps Since there are only 2 bolts per cap you only have to snug up each bolt then apply half the listed torque value to each cap bolt. then continue back and forth on them until the end torque value is applied to both bolts.

Need torque for ford wlt 2.5L turbo main bearings and conrod bearings

The torque specifications for the main bearings and connecting rod bearings in a Ford WL/WLT 2.5L Turbo engine may vary depending on the specific model year and engine configuration. However, as a general guideline, here are the torque specifications for the main bearings and connecting rod bearings in this engine:
Main bearings:
  1. Torque the main bearing cap bolts in three stages in the following sequence:Stage 1: 30 Nm (22 lb-ft)
    Stage 2: 80 Nm (59 lb-ft)
    Stage 3: 90 degrees
  2. After the final torque of 90 degrees, check the bolt stretch with a torque angle gauge. The stretch should be between 0.15mm and 0.30mm.
Connecting rod bearings:
  1. Torque the connecting rod cap bolts in two stages in the following sequence:Stage 1: 30 Nm (22 lb-ft)
    Stage 2: 90 degrees
  2. After the final torque of 90 degrees, check the bolt stretch with a torque angle gauge. The stretch should be between 0.15mm and 0.30mm.
It is important to note that these torque specifications are general guidelines and may vary based on the specific model year and engine configuration. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual or consult a certified mechanic for the exact torque specifications for your specific vehicle
