Crankshaft Bolt....How Tight?
Crankshaft Bolt....How Tight?
when tightening up the crankshaft pulley bolt....how tight do you know how to do it up?....i know the obvious answer is "as tight as possible", but i have a six foot breaker bar which would probably break the bolt or strip it if i used full force....i dont want it too loose, but dont want to snap the bolt either

Re: Crankshaft Bolt....How Tight?
I think the manual says something like "14 ft-lbs, plus an additional 1/4 turn"
I think the spec is 181 ft-lbs.
Personally, I take my 150 ft-lb torque wrench to it, torque it to 150, then take a breaker bar and crank down on it a bit more
