Crank pulley bolt torque according to repair manual was only 72 ftlbs. I
torque it to 120 ftlbs, making sure pulley stays put.
Lug bolts/nuts 125 ftlbs

Unless you're the incredible hulk using a 2 foot breaker bar - I
wouldn't sweat it. The Subaru torque spec is around 100ftlbs (I
believe) which is tighter than your lug / wheel nuts.

So here's the deal. I got my motor and getting ready to do the
timing belt, idlers, water pump and etc. While removing the crank
pulley bolt I had a huge brain fart and gave it a few 1/4 turns the
wrong way. Once I figured out I was being a dumb a$$ and started to
turn the wrench he right way it came out with no problems. At no point
did it feel like I stripped anything out and the threads on the crank
pulley bolt look fine. I'm just a little concerned about the crank
shaft and if this could have caused any major damage.
Sorry for not giving more info in my first post but I was in a hurry
this morning.
Thanks,
Matt

Can one over tighten the crank pulley bolt and if so what's the
worst case scenario?
