What's the crank bolt size for an LS engine?

I’m currently working on an LS engine rebuild and I need to find out the correct size of the crank bolt. I’ve looked around online but the specifications seem to vary.

Here’s what I need help with:

  • Crank Bolt Size: What’s the actual size I should be looking for (diameter, thread pitch, etc.)?
  • Torque Specifications: Any advice on the torque specs for installation?
  • Recommended Tools: What tools will I need to properly install the bolt?

Background:

I’m planning to upgrade some components while I’m at it and want to make sure I’m getting the details right from the start. Any experience or tips from those who have gone through this would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance for the help!
