Re: crank pulley and pin

Because I'd rather torque something to factory spec and lock it there with thread locker than overtorque something, possibly stripping the threads or snapping the head of the bolt off . Torque values are set by the engineers for a reason, and I use them where provided. A properly torqued bolt with threadlocker is not going to back out. IMHO, play between the woodruff key and the pulley is what chips and eventually elongates the keyway, not a loose crank bolt.
