Crankin' bolt

[vwtype53 at yahoo.com (Ben Harder)]

Don't worry Don... this wasn't on your car... or engine.  :)

Did this make you worried?  I imagine it would if this was on
a stretch bolt.  But really, all bolts stretch somewhat, right?
Just some are of a material that will stretch more than others.

So what *is* the real solution to the crank bolt problem, anyhow?
I think following the Bently torque spec is not enough...
