From what I’ve seen, you gotta put a lot of force to get to that 60 degrees after the 48lbs of torque. Danny

Yes, I will definitely torque the new bolt when it arrives and will turn an additional 60 degrees. I didn’t add oil to the threads on the old bolt and I am afraid the old bolt is weaker than a new bolt. I didn’t want to risk the bolt head snapping off if I tightened it more. The Acura service manual says you need to lubricate the threads and washer when installing. I will make an updated video with the correct installation process when the new bolt arrives.

I just ordered one also just in case. The head of my crank shaft pulley bolt is pretty rusted after 14 years in winters/salt. It won’t be that much of a luxe. Danny
