Thanks - looking at the engine manual for a 2.5, that is also considerably higher. I'll retorque mine. Wonder why these manuals are so consistently off..?

Hi all



Got the Impreza engine all back together and was just triple checking what I have done - it will be going back in tomorrow if all goes well.



Just read a post that states that the crank pulley is supposed to be tightened to over 100 ft/lb and that the manuals are all wrong. Is this true? Both my impreza manual say that it is supposed to be 69-76 ft/lb so I tightened it to 73. Is that right? Does it require blue locktite? If the manual is wrong, is it wrong elsewhere I need to know about?
