Crank bolt torque?
As stupid as this sounds, I don't recall doing the crank bolt torque procedure when i put my motor back together, I know, how the hell could I not remember doing that!! Fortunately, I haven't put many miles on it.. I have a new crank bolt that I can use. My thought was, crank the existing bolt to 240, back it off and replace with the new and follow the rest of the process.. Does this sound reasonable? Or should I pull the pulley and start over? Also, is there a DIY way of holding the crank from spinning? If not, I'll order the tool/holder or track one down and do this next week.. TIA

If the balancer is already seated fully, I believe it's 37ft lb.

Good point. Spec on new bolt is 37 ft lb, then 140 degrees.. From what I've read it's tough to get the 140 out of it. Also, keeping the crank from turning is a challenge.

My heart skipped a couple beats thinking I'd snapped off the crank bolt! When I saw the broken impact socket (or what I thought was and impact socket) I could finally breath again!
See my mark... I'm calling it 140* anyway lol

Ya I broke a large half inch drive snap on ratchet trying to get to 140 degrees. My buddy who is a mehanic just puts some loctite on them and runs it in with an impact.
Fwiw when I did the wife's car I stretched it a little past 90 and stopped.
