Found the mistake. Book 98196 page 5-27 fig 5-87 tells you to torque the cam caps to 72.3-86.8 ft-lbbut if you read the txt it's talking about head bolt, where it should be talking about tightening sequence Books 98142 is correct. Book 98196E has correct torque settings but still calls them head bolts instead of cap bolts. LOL
Also
Book 198196 states 8.7-13.0 ft-lb
Book 198196E states 12 15 ft-lb
Book 198142 states 12.3 16.6 ft-lb so take your choice
Cheers
Alex

It's in keeping with the 'solid' nature of the rest of an 18RG bottom end anyways
As long as it does the job
