[Vwdiesel] Engine eating pulley

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  Those crank bolts take a lot of torque, even the old, non-stretch 
ones.  It's not uncommon to have to pull the pan and block the 
crank in order to get it loose initially.  A bit of red loctite on the 
mating surface as well as the threads isn't a bad idea.  I'd be more 
for using blue on the threads though.  Torque is 100ft/lbs + as I 
recall.  I usually just do whatever the good air wrench will put out. 
Somewhere just above 150 ft/lbs I'd say.
  Make sure which bolt you have and torque it well!
