The 302, with the 7/16" studs, the main cap bolt/stud torque is 70#. There only appears to be the studs for attaching the main caps??? If you want to use locktite, use it only on the threads going into the block. Be sure everything is free of oil and is clean. ALSO when it is applied (quite sparingly) immediately apply tension on the studs by installing the caps and tightening them to spec (even if it is only temporarily without the crank installed) for a few of hours until the locktite cures (depending on temprature). As a side note: if you have the block stripped and have threaded plugs (recommended) in the oil galleys drill the recommended .030 diameter hole in the plug directly behind the area where the distributor gear meshes with the cam, this will squirt oil on the gears and potentially save you a lot of trouble.
