You absolutely, positively, want to torque that crank bolt properly by the book!!

Perhaps you got lucky this time... or perhaps you over torqued it and did damage you won't see till next time. One thing that's for sure, should that bolt come out, the amount of damage that gets done is pretty horrific. I've heard of a few stories of this happening on B230's. Minimum damage seems to be a ruined crank shaft... maximum damage depends on where the crank pulley goes at mach 2. Not kidding.
