The last few reprint of the Bentley Vanagon manual has a listing of specs on
the back cover con rod specs are there
hundreds of changes have been made to the big green book over the years
and there is nothing like the smell of a fresh copy

Subject: CONROD NUTS TORQUE

I looked and could not find the torques specs for the conrod nuts.  This is
a 2.1 L regular van.  87 model.
Also, I must say, I am flabbergasted to see that there is no torque listing
in the Bentley of all the bolts and nuts of importance on one page.  I had
to gather all I needed for assembling the engine from fifty different pages,
hunting for the torque figures.  Kind of non germanic arrangement.  I
noticed that many essentials are missing or ignored or you just have to
guess.  Oh vell...  ve are not all the same.
