Below is the comprehensive guide for Cummins ISX (including ISX15 and QSX15) main and rod bearing torque specifications using the most current industry standards. Cummins ISX Main Bearing Torque Specs
Apply a clean coat of 15W-40 engine oil to the bolt threads and the underside of the bolt heads before installation.
🛠️ Cummins specifies a maximum "stretch" or reuse limit for ISX head, main, and rod bolts. Because these are torque-to-yield style fasteners, many professional builders recommend installing new bolts during every major overhaul to prevent bolt snapping or loss of clamping force.
Generally between .002" and .005" depending on the specific CPL (Critical Parts List) of your engine.
Ensure the main bearing caps are installed in their original positions and orientations. Caps are numbered and directional.
📏 Never assume "Standard" size bearings are correct for a used crank. Use Plastigage or a micrometer/bore gauge set to verify oil clearances.
