ok last night i was just cruising along and my crank pulley just falls off!! nothing got damaged. i always put that bolt on as tight as humanly possible. i also have a friend that had the same thing happen on his b16. he told me he went to honda and they told them they have a new crank pulley bolt. i guess because this has been a problem on hondas. he said you have to torque it down to 140 and then loosen it and then torque it again to 80 ft lbs. said the instructions are on the bolt? anybody know what im talking about?

im thinking im just gonna put the bolt back on with a ton of red loctite or maybe tack weld it. would that hurt anything, like making it unbalanced with a small tack?

 

i just put some lock tite and torque to 130 ft lbs

 

Never had that problem, even with minium torqued down on the bolt . I'll tell you this though, cause i have heard of a buddys friend bringed his car to him to change out his motor because he ended up with a broken crank pulley bolt stuck in his crank!, be careful.

 

on my Eg8 mt crank key was all buggered soo i welded and also put the bolt in .. just make sure it's straight ... down side is when u do your cambelt it's gonnna b hard too take it off
