Maybe we need to add "crank bolt torque check" to the list of yearly routine maintenance.


That's probably not a bad idea at all, but I haven't heard of anyone on this forum that has experienced a problem after replacing the old bolt with the new one, have you? Does that mean that:
1) the new bolt is superior?
2) we're more accurate than the factory was?
3) it takes 10-15 years for the dang thing to blow up?

Beats the Hell outta me, Lieutenant.
