[V8] V8 rod bolt torque

[d saad]

Looks like I have answered this myself -

the rod bolt part
number is 077-105-425B, and it is torque to yield.
The same bolt is
used on a VW VR6 motor. (2.8L V6)

The tightening torque is 22
lbs/ft + 90 degrees.

And the fun part - they are $9.10 each. So
another $160 and another day of waiting.

The best news I guess
is there is a new (to the front counter anyway) lady at the Audi dealer
who knows all about the V8 overnight parts program. I don't even ask for
it - she just does it for me.
