Has anyone had a problem with an ARP crank bolt coming out?
I have now seen 3 balancers come loose and one completely off that used the ARP crank bolt. All 3 cars had professional installs and never had a problem with the same pullies with stock bolts. Has anyone else seen this? I just like the idea of the reusable bolt due to trying different cams but what I've seen has made me a little uneasy about the ARP. Thanks.

After manual install, mine backed out slowly.
Took it to a local shop and they used an impact wrench.
It could have been that we didn't install it right the first time, but we were pretty sure it was torqued to spec.
Since reinstall, all has been fine +8000 miles.

I think the loctite is the key. They were all seated with the old bolts and torqued to spec. NONE used loctite. All of these motors have seen 7k so I'm guessing that loctite must be used.
