I have tried to torque the main bearings to 50Nm but the bolt broke at +- 45Nm, could being 0.5 over size be the cause.
SOURCE: Front caliper securing bolts torque
I know that it's a jag, and I know you are trying to be perfect, but in over thirty years, I've never seen a tech put a torque wrench on a caliper bolt. If you really want to I'd use about 35-40 foot pounds. (I go by bolt diameter) You don't have to slam them down but you don't want them to back out either. A bit over 35 is reasonable and should not damage anything and will keep them secure!
I have no idea what nm conversion is..

Hello vienotkelly: The correct Main bolt torque is 42 foot pounds. The connecting rods torque to 29 foot pounds. The torque sequence for the head bolts and the correct way to tighten the bolts are attached to this reply. Thak You for using FixYa. Roger

Year, make, model, and engine size?
Your torque wrench calibration could be out. Make sure the bearings are the correct oversize for the journal (your engineering shop should have given you specs). Make sure you are using the correct unit of measurement ie Nm, ft-lbs etc.
If you are using 50 thou oversize bearings on a standard crank you MAY get a bolt that breaks. Not likely. Rather check the above points.
ps Over the counter bolts at your local Bolt-n-Nut will suffice if not the correct spec
