1/4 inch bolts are 170 inch pounds with oil
5/16 inch bolts are 28 foot pounds with oil
This is for the Arc rods I have used.  Its always good to work your way up to final torque.

Four-step up to the 28 ft lbs. 16, 20, 24, 28 ft lbs. And always make sure the crank assy rotates freely after torqueing. If it doesn't, recheck your bearing inserts.
