welcome to A/F and happy new year. the mains are torque to 37foot lbs then a extra 77 degrees or just under a 1/4 turn. rods are 18 foot lbs + 100 degrees ( just over a 1/4 turn ) this is for the 2001 to 2003 3.4L good luck. :smile: : NOTE 2000 3.4 rod torque is different than the 2001 to 2003 3.4L engines.

ETA: I see I was a little slow on the draw.... we're the same on the mains, but a little different on the rods...all I can say is my specs are from what should be a reliable factory resource...

your Rod Bearing Bolt spec is for the 2000 year not the 2001 to 2003 year
The GM service website I pulled this info from shows it to be valid for the 2002 Model Year....I suppose it's possible it's not right; but it is GMs website and the specs I would use....
Where are you pulling your info from?
