So this is the second time my crank pulley bolt came loose and disappeared onto the road. The first time it happened, I just figured I didn't tighten it enough. I installed a new bolt, torqued it to 50lbs. with red lock-tite and it came off this morning. This is a blower motor so the crank bolt and pulley are not stock, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Looking for an explanation.
Thanks Joe
