Am I missing something?

Tightening the crank bolt is not the issue, but if and when you go in for an IMS swap, or some repairs involving resetting the cam timing, be prepared for a significant up charge as the shop is going to have to remove the under drive pulley and reinstall a factory unit in order to lock the crank at TDC, that is assuming you have not removed too much of the pin boss from the engine cases when you installed the pulley. If you did, the trans will have to be pulled so that the engine can be locked at TDC from the flywheel. Oh, and the latter adds roughly $3K to the bill of whatever else is being done.
