OMG. Lol. so true. Read the directions next time.

thanks guys. i was torquing them from here: http://www.arp-bolts.com/Catalog/Catalog.Pages/2005Catalog024.html

I have a 12 point, 3/8" head on it, and it's an arp 2000 bolt which has 220,000 tensile strenght. Using arp lube, is stated 43lbs. o well i guess.

go to www.eaglerod.com, click search by part number, CRS5472N3D, look at the torque specs.

while i was torquing them, i was thinking about the PnP and was daydreaming, then *SNAP*, woke me up.

From Eaglerod.com
NOTES:
standard length rod for Neon 2.0L SOHC & DOHC, 420A. Older design used 5/16" bolt (3/8" head) - torque is 28 ftlbs with moly lube.

Since you stated you have the 3/8" head(socket), then you must have the 5/16" thread bolt which uses the lower torque. If you had the 3/8" thread bolt, then the head would be 7/16", which uses the higher torque.

Check this page, 5th and 6th bolts down.
