Engine: I6 4.0L

from my factory service manual:...(pg.9-89 steps 5-7 of 1995 xj FMS)
Tighten the bolts of caps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 to 54nm (40ft-lbs) torque. Now tighten these bolts to 95nm (70ft-lbs) torque. Finally, tighten these bolts to 108nm (80ft-lbs) torque.
push the crankshaft forward and backward. Load the crankshaft front or rear and tighten cap bolt #3 to 54nm (40ft-lbs), then 95nm (70ft-lbs), then 108nm (80ft-lbs)
rotate crankshaft after tightening each main bearing cap to ensure the crankshaft rotates freely
