Jake- thank you, both for your prior contributions, and for (once again) clarifying the issue, in a thread that I was helping to derail. I respect your decision but wish you could see your way forward to remain active on the forum. My apologies to the OP.
Now for a question, for anyone qualified to answer. The crankshaft pulley bolt is deemed disposable, to be replaced once removed (ie fitting an UDP), presumedly b/c of thread deformation in turning it 90° past the torque value. Does this process imply that no thread locker or other potential lubricant should be used? And has anyone contemplated lightening the rotating shaft a bit by using a harder but lighter titanium bolt?
Please pardon my ignorance if this seems stupid.
