Torque Spec: Crank S Bolt

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

I think the torque value alone is in the 300 ft lb range.  

I've seen guys with LONG 4' extension pipes torquing the bolt.
We did a write up on newer I-5 motors (200 20V) here:

Some specs there.  Photos of the tools etc.  There is a math formula to 
determine force x distance.  Google conversions calculators
