Here's a very good link to washers that might solve your problem. Lots of great information.

Read this:

Read about "Smart Bolts".

First thing I would do is try a brand new Grade 8 bolt.
What engine is in your car?
Lotsa great reading Fordy! The crank is new as was the bolt. I'm looking into the Nord-lock washer system. They seem to hold up to just about any situation.
I was using grade 8 bolts, but no lock washer, just some red lock-tite.
Engine is a blown 1950 8BA.
Thanks Joe
