46 Burb Member 4 Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 NE Pa	I'm going to put just rings in my 216 chevy. Should I adjust the connecting rod babbits or just keep track of where the shims come from and place where they came from. If I do adjust them, I can't find anywhere in my shop manual that says anything about torque for the caps. I understand the proceedure but could use some help from someone who has done it. thanks Jim
