torqueing mains and treads came out. now what?

I've never, ever done that.
never heard of or seen this before....

Me either. Ever.

I always bottom tap the block after getting it back and use 30W oil sparingly on the threads if stock stuff or ARP lube on ARP bolts or studs and torque to their specs. BTW, all my torque wrenches are Snap-on click type.
