Help!!!! Quick!!!
I am looking at my Bentley manual and cannot find the torque specs for the rod bolts. Does anyone know what the proper torque is?

You sure you translated that right? 20Nm is only 14 ft-lbs, seems a little lacking for something as important as a rod bolt.

it means you torque to 20 and then turn it another 90 degrees; a more accurate method to set tension in the bolt

Torque To Yield
And don't even think of reusing the original bolts!
