[200q20v] Sealant Questions: Crankshaft and Rotor

[Brandon Hull]

Does anyone replace this bolt?  Does Bentley recommend it?  I thought about
it because of the 330lb ft torque; it must stretch a good bit.  I'll bet a
new one comes with the factory lock tite like the flywheel bolts.  OTOH it
is a monster fastner.
