Default LS2 Rod Bolt torquing

Can someone with a shop manual provide the torque values and procedure for re-torquing 2005 LS2 connecting rod bolts. They can be re-torqued right? Pistons need to be removed for inspection

You can get a Torque Angle Meter like the one below at Autozone or a similar store for ~ $10.
