Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! I haven't seen this one asked. Here's a photo from the OFFICIAL Honda Civic 2001-2004 service manual in the timing belt replacement procedure: http://www.orcas.net/20120820_191416.jpg I've not seen ANYONE talk about making it this tight. I asked a tech at a local dealership, and he said it's correct. Still seems wrong to me. Comments? |
Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! What's wrong about it? It needs to be tight or that pulley can come flying off at 6500 RPM through the fire wall and chew your face off. |

Does this manual say anything about oil on the front of the washer and the threads? Seems that using oil or not using it would be an important factor in these specs. I was just blown away about the crazy amount of torque the manual says, and assumed someone forgot to remove the step about turning another 90 degrees when they updated the manual (since I have the previous generation manual too that talks about the lower torque, then another 90 degrees, which makes sense). Anyone else want to tell me they really did 181 ft/lbs + 90 degrees? Was my local Honda dealership just full of cr*p? Terry |

Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! Just get your biggest breaker bar (Should be at least 24" and tighten it as much as you can) I wouldnt use an impact to put it on, but taking it off I have used them and have had no problems. |

I have a torque wrench that I already tightened it to 181 ft-lbs, and I have a 3 foot breaker bar and I can extend that with a steel pipe, so I'm confident I can apply enough force... |

Can you tell me the part number of the service manual you have? Is it the official Honda one? Which page are you looking at? Thanks! http://downloads.hondatech.info/Auto...Civic01-05.zip I imagine when haynes and/or chilton and others followed the honda official procedure when they were writing their manuals, they determined that 14 lbf/ft plus 90 degree is equivalent to 181 lbf/ft. |
Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! ? breaker bar? yeh guys need to go to the gym more often. (sez a 120lbs guy :P) |

I downloaded the manual from here.

I didn't download mine. I bought the official Honda one from the publisher... I have a telephone book sized manual (and the pages are telephone book thin too) |
Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! Yea, good luck taking that bolt to 181ft-lbs + an extra 90 degrees. I have a hard enough time getting to 181 ft-lbs. I'd be willing to bet you end up shearing the bolt off if you tried that. |

Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! If you snap the crank pulley bolt off in the crankshaft, can you take a picture of it? |

I doubt what I downloaded modified what I gave you. Feel free to follow the "offical Honda" service manual. If you can get it to 181 and another 90 degrees more power to you. Good luck with that. Read below about common sense. Hopefully you get it. I'm not going another 90, since it feels like it would snap. I was hoping someone out there did it all the time and could tell me it's right, but what I'm hearing is the opposite. Thanks everyone for your input! |
Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! if you didnt take it off, use some touch up paint on the head of the crank bolt and onto the pulley to give you an idea of where it was torqued to originally. My toyota's crank pulley had to be torqued to 270 ft lbs! |

Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! Just FYI to anyone who sees this in the manual and wonders like I did :) http://www.orcas.net/20120824_122841.jpg |
Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! Install the crankshaft pulley and hold the pulley with holder handle (A) and holder attachment (B). With P/S: With EPS: Tighten the bolt to 20 Nm (2.0 kgf/m, 14 lbf/ft) with a torque wrench and 19 mm socket (C). Do not use an impact wrench. Tighten the pulley bolt an additional 90o. Outta mine. Ya 181+90? No way. That bolt isn't big enough. That will break it, no question.. If there is question, tourqe it, mark it, drive it a bit and recheck it. |

It is how I tighten axle nuts.. since I dont have a torque wrench that goes that high.. Unless your crazy strong it should work.. lol :lol: |

Trust me, 2 foot breaker bar with all your force.. you wont break it..NO cheater bar.. It is how I tighten axle nuts.. since I dont have a torque wrench that goes that high.. Unless your crazy strong it should work.. lol :lol: You're an absolute fool if you beyond the 181 lbf-ft for the crankshaft bolt. The laws of common sense do not apply to you if you go beyond the 181 lbf-ft for the crank bolt. |
Re: Crankshaft tightening 181 ft-lbs + 90 degrees! Looks like the 181 foot pounds was actually supposed to be 181 INCH pounds which is about 15 foot pounds. Plus another 90 degrees probably gets its closer to 180 FOOT pounds. |

I don't think so. The original post shows the manual with the torque listed as 245 N-m with it converted to 181 ft-lbs in parenthesis. If you do the conversion 245 N-m equals 180.7 ft-lbs so they got it wrong twice or they meant 181 ft-lbs. |
