CapeX5 is on a distinguished road
you are missing the point on tightening main caps(and many other fasteners)to a specified "degree", not torque. The reason they do this is 1-bolts are often one time use and they stretch. the second is that to use a degree wheel specified for tightening is much more reliable than a random torque wrench. I have used torque wrench for years, but when I just re did my M62 I learned that I needed to do things differently. You weren't clear as to whether you used the right tool or not. If you didn't, I would recommend doing it all again per the factory instructions.
