Hi all,I owned a classic a couple of years ago and remember having an issue with the bolt securing the main pulley on the crankshaft not been tight enough and wearing inside and nearly destroyed the woodruff key. Luckily I managed to replace the pulley and the woodruff key was saved. I think it hasn't been tightened up to the correct torque following a serviceI've just bought an 01 bugeye WRX and just want to check the bolt is torqued to the correct setting, can anyone advise what it should be on this model?CheersMike
Interesting. I asked the same question a few weeks ago and the answer I got from one member was 130 lb/ft.
I hope i havent over tightened it if that's possible......
Weird i was told 130 lbs for my newage, but ive just bought a alloy pulley and perrin say 95lbs.If you google it the torque seems to vary by 50lbs which seems a lot.
