OK ready?
1st stage Crank Caps Initial 35Nm
2nd stage 95 degrees
3rd stage 95 degrees
Block girdle 53Nm
Rods /Big Ends
Short arm 15 Nm
Long Arm 20 Nm
Short Arm 30 Nm
Long arm 40 Nm
Short Arm 40 Nm Plus 90 degrees
Long arm plus 90 degrees
Short Arm plus 90 degrees
Long arm plus yet another 90 degrees .
Suggest you paint and mark long arms & short arms also & get an assistant to verify & note which ones have got torqued
You can easily mix this up and have a rod under torqued
Best of luck

man im about to scream!!!!
So I found some paperwork from WIS that I had a friend print off for me that works at the Mercedes plant before I ever tore this thing down.
Forgot I had it
I do see 4th 90°on the rods there too. So Alldata said 2-90°s....there was an additional 2.
Gonna do that tomorrow.
But now I see I missed the 3rd - 90° On the head bolts.
Alldata only had only 2 listed.
I guess it’s ok on head bolts to add another 90° a week later after original torque ?.
I’ve never had to do this. Always just did it first time and done.
I don’t see anything about oil for bolts on “yes or no” in this paper.
It just says, “install left cylinder head” ?
This engine is gonna kill me.
Dennis it also says in here...“
generally connecting rods are replaced because they are cracked and after removal dimensional accuracy can’t be guaranteed.
So that’s just great.
Guess I’ll be gambling on this. I mean the new ones also have to be opened to get them on, so....
I was very careful on the fit of the caps insuring the part line vanished upon seating caps and torquing.
Also on inspection prior to plastiguage, I could seat the caps with fingers and they would actually stick together like glue. Had to actually pull apart with force. Which is the intention.
So fingers crossed It doesn’t result as you say, “legs out of bed”
