You might want to use plastigage to check rod bearing clearance at torque.

SOURCE: i'm looking for the 2000 isuzu rodeo 3.2L v6 connecting rod bearings torque specs.

1. Check the connecting rod alignment If either the bend or the twist exceeds the specified limit,the connecting rod must be replaced. Bend per 100 mm (3.937 inch) Limit: 0.15 (0.0059) Twist per 100 mm (3.937 inch) Limit: 0.20 (0.0078)

2. Measure the connecting rod thrust clearance. Use a feeler gauge to measure the thrust clearance at the large end of the connecting rod If the clearance exceeds the specified limit, the connecting rod must be replaced. Standard: 0.16 mm - 0.35 mm (0.0063 inch - 0.0138 inch) Limit: 0.40 mm (0.0157 inch)

3. Measure the oil clearance between the connecting rod and the crankshaft.

    1. Remove the connecting rod cap nuts and the rod caps (12). Arrange the removed rod caps in the cylinder number order.
    2. Clean the rod bearings and the crankshaft pins.
      1. Carefully check the rod bearings. If even one bearing is found to be damaged or badly worn, the entire bearing assembly must be replaced as a set. Reinstall the bearings in their original positions. Apply plastigage to the crank pin.
      2. Reinstall the rod caps (12) to their original positions. Tighten the rod cap nuts. Torque: 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) Note: Do not allow the crankshaft to rotate.
      3. Remove the rod caps.
        1. Measure the width of the plastigage and determine the oil clearance. If the oil clearance exceeds the limit, replace the rod bearing as a set. Standard: 0.019 mm - 0.043 mm (0.0007 inch - 0.0017 inch) Limit: 0.08 mm (0.003 inch)
        2. Clean the plastigage from the bearings and the crankshaft pins.

SOURCE: need torque specs 1988 Chevy silverado for main bearings and rod

Those values and most everything else you need for DIY work are contained in the Haynes manual for your vehicle. We have one with each of our vehicles and not only give you the info needed to do repairs yourself but also get an idea of how much work a specific repair should (or shouldn't) cost.

You can also buy these from auto parts stores for a few dollars less and sometimes on eBay for even less.

2004 mazda 6 3.0L V6 main bearing caps(bootom end) has 16 bolts need torgue specs please!

Okay, the main bearing caps only have 10 bolts, i think your looking for the connecting rod caps, they have 16 bolts, i will list them both, theres a tightening sequnce for the main bearing caps, these are the caps that hold the crankshaft to the engine block, the connecting rod caps hold the pistons to the crank and they have 16 nuts,For a 2004 mazda 6 with the 3.0 engine the torque specs are as follows.
Connecting rod bolts step 1) 19.2 - 23.6 ft lbs.
step 2) tighten an additional 80 - 100 degrees

Main bearing caps step 1) 32.5 - 33.9 ft. lbs.
step 2) tighten an additional 175 -185 degrees.
