Not much to explain, really.
I used the main caps it came with, and replaced the stock bolts with ARP studs that I got from Hood. I put the new bearings in (they have a dry film lube on 'em), torqued 'em, and checked clearances with plastigauge. It agreed with my previous crank/bearing measurements, so I disassembled, cleaned the plastigauge off, added the assembly lube, and put the caps back on. I torqued the nuts down again.
Then, I loosened the nuts again, and retorqued. Repeat 4-5 times more.
The re-torqueing insures that the studs will stretch a uniform amount, so the torque is consistent across all the studs, and won't change once the caps are loaded.
I also had someone else verify my final torque check, too, just to make sure my head was on straight that day. It was.
