Does anyone know the torque spec for the front crank bolt on the 4 cyl TR engine? I can't seem to find it, either in the official manual or my Haynes.
 
I don't recall ever seeing an official factory spec. But ISTR it's a 5/8NF bolt, so the "standard" torque for a Grade 3 would be around 140 ftlb. Or a friend calls it "Gudentite".

Thanks, Randall. I have that setting (Gudentite) on my wrenches, but I'm trying to avoid overusing it :-).

I got it up to about 100 ft-lbs before the car started moving, so I'll need to block the wheels.
