Hi gents,
can anybody tell me the torque force of the Rear Seal Cap Bolts? These bolts are from 440 source and i can´t find any description.

Torque is largely based on the fastener size and grade. Grade 8 3/8" bolts are in the 45 ft/lb range, but this is clamping on aluminum so a little less. I just tighten them down good and snug with a 3/8" ratchet. No worries.
 
QUOTE 440 SOURCE!
Rear Main Seal Cap Bolts. These are the very specialized countersunk bolts that hold the Aluminum Rear main seal cap to the block. These are BRAND NEW, and feature some design improvements over the original factory bolts, such as a thicker underhead washer surface. Finished in black oxide for good looks and corrosion resistance. The 3/8" 12 point wrench surface on the originals can become rounded off, and removal then requires basically destroying the rear main seal cap, so go with these brand new ones for extra insurance. Sold in sets of 2. Use one set per engine.
 
The FSM states 30 ft. lb.
