I'm not sure who you're referring to, but I'm not blaming anyone, but myself for this.

I did some reading and that's what "some" people recommend using 30 weight oil and 40ft/lbs using ARP moly lube. Now I'm kind of confused here. I don't have a stretch gauge, but I'm considering buying new bolts and a stretch gauge just in case I over stretched the current bolts. Maybe I'm being a little over paranoid since this is my first motor, but any help from the pros would be appreciated!
Hope you get a response.

Meanwhile, kudos to you for putting this thread together and having the heart to take on this challenge. I'm living vicariously through you until one day I have the !@lls to do it. Again, great thread.
