Anybody knows how tight that crank bolt goes?

 

240ft/lbs sticks out in my head right now...

Double check though

 

OMG, I left it at just under 100.

 

Stock bolt, or ARP? I think they are different.

Stock bolt has a stretching procedure. You take your old bolt and torque down to 240ftlbs to push pulley on. Then remove it and take a new bolt and you torque to 37ftlbs, then turn an addit'l 140 degrees.

Under 100ftlbs, you will spin your pulley off of your crankshaft.

 

It's the stock bolt. The pulley was pushed all the way then the bolt was loosened up and then torqued to about 90ftlbs. Locktight was added to the bolt before it was put in.

 

I wouldn't drive it much like that. I'd back it out, torque to 37ftlbs and then do the 140 degree thing. I've only been able to do 120 degrees at the most, and never had issues.

 

 

I just beat the snot out of mine with an impact wrench. I figured that would have been as tight as I could have gotten it anyways. I checked it a few days later and retitghtened it. I got maybe another 1/4 turn on it and called it good. I've checked it a time or 2 more and haven't been ablke to get much on it.

 

Yeah, I do the "37ft/lb to as tight as I can go" method. I was hanging off a 4' breaker Sunday, and only got around 120*.

 

Mine was 4' too. And here I thought I was just being a little weak.
