Then my plan is to get a new crank pulley bolt and maybe a little lock tight.

Quite right - I forgot the vanagon wheel torque was so much higher than the cars (87 ft lbs)
I guess it's all up to what was being used to "loosen" the bolt and how much force was exerted.

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,

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