No, the crank pulley bolt is just like a normal bolt. Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
The crank pulley bolts are a complete bitch to get off. You'll need a big breaker bar and a floor jack to support the end of the breaker bar. Also, try spraying some liquid wrench on the bolt first. Good luck.

The easy way..........
Spray the bolt with PB Blaster and let sit for 1/2 hour. Go back and SMACK the bolt 3-5 times HARD with a 2-3 lb hammer. Now spray it again with the PB Blaster and wait 1/2 hour. Smack bolt again 3-5 times and then hit it with impact gun and a 6 point 17 mm socket.
Why.....
The nice Cadium plating on Honda bolts corrodes and causes many headaches and heartbreaks. I've check a few crank bolts without using the PB Blaster and breakaway torque was 180-210 ft lbs.
