Checking the key....

[cosmic_splatter]

Fixkick,

I put some torque on the crank bolt to try to remove it and check the key. I have the car in 5th gear, but it moved almost 20 degrees. I believe the tires were starting to slide a bit. I stopped since the bolt was not budging.

Should I make more of an effort to remove the bolt or just check the torque and leave it be?

I'm assuming that if you take the timing belt off, that you should not be messing with this bolt since cam and crank will not be moving together?

thanks,
John
