Tech info needed - replacing an engine

Hey guys,

I have a couple of technical questions I am hoping you can answer. The engine in my 2001 3.0 X5 died and I am installing a take out engine from another X5. I want to pull the pan and check the engine/rod bearings while I am in there, can anyone post the Plastigauge specs and the torque specs for the bearing caps? Also, are these stretch to yield bolts that will need to be replaced?

Is there any other maintenance I should do on the engine before installing? I am already planning to do a rear main seal and valve cover gasket along with the crankcase vent valve.


Thanks,

Andrew
