Greetings, Binford!

The same as with torquing cylinder heads, start with the center main first, and work your way to the ends of the crankshaft. I would torque a five main bearing crankshaft's bearings as follows; 5-3-1-2-4. Number 1 would be the center main bearing, followed by number 2, and so on. Hope this helps!
