3sgte main bolt torque specs?

my manual calls for the main caps to be torqued to only 43 ft/pounds... seems a little low to me for something that holds the crankshaft down??? is it wrong or right?

I hear ya.
43 ft. lbs. is correct. If you are uncomfortable with the torque, you can always plastigauge it to double check.
But Toyota knows what they're doing. I was surprised at only 36 ft. lbs+1/4 turn for head bolts...
