Anybody else with a Procharger Stage 2 have their crank bolt come loose? It's happened to me twice now in the 5k miles I've put on it since the install. I've been using a stronger grade 10.9 bolt than the 8.8 grade bolt that came with the PC kit. Figured this would be better because I can torque it down more than the supplied bolt. I've been torquing it to 90 foot lbs and this last time I reinstalled it with blue loctite and just saw its loose again after a couple of thousand miles.
The torque specs I find for 12mm bolts at grade 10.9 range from about 85 ftlb to 105 ftlb. I figured I'd split the difference just to make sure I don't snap the bolt off. I'm thinking about using some red loctite next to around.
Anyone else experience this or have a suggestion.
Thanks
