280 ft/lbs? Egads, and here I was thinking at first that I had a
problem with the camshaft, But yea, I have'ntt been torqueing that
crank bolt down anywhere near that much! All I can do is lock the
flywheel with a a broom handle or something like that, have nothing
special to hold the crank pulley. Thanks all. Geronimo

I've had a helper jam the flywheel with a screwdriver, and (before I got air
tools) used a floor jack under the socket handle to loosen and tighten the
bolt. It makes me worry about the engine mounts when the front wheels start
to lift off the ground, but so far so good :-)

purchased one of these tools long ago and though used only a couple of
times it is worth it ! Does the job well.

That's the approximate torque for the D24 diesel motor. That much torque
on a gas engine will likely snap the end off the crankshaft.
D24: crankshaft with damper pulley: center bolt 350 Nm (258 ft.lb)
socket head bolts: 20 Nm (15 ft.lb)

Then it would surely snap the end of the crankshaft of a diesel motor as
well. Crankshaft is made to same toughness standards as for petrol. However
you spotted my deliberate mistake well, as I did unthinkingly quote for my
diesel engine.
All the best, Peter.

Not really. The thread engagement length is different as well as the
bolt pitch. The VW crankshaft is made by Shrick, I believe, with a much
different high density metallurgy than the standard nodular iron crank
shaft on the Volvo 4 cyl.

Another good reason to go the diesel route, even for those of you who think
that diesels suck!!
