Lock tight
Anybody use a dab of lock tight when installing the crank pulley bolt? Or is it best to just torque it down?

Re: Lock tight
Just tighten it up. Never had one loosen in my lifetime.

Re: Lock tight
True until someone has to undo it. It depends what grade loctite is used. Some come apart fairly easily with hand tools while others require heat to get them to release.
Personally, I wouldn't bother using it in this application but it's your car.
