Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I can assure you did not twist the crank trying to remove that stubborn front crankshaft bolt, Yes twisting of crankshaft can be checked but crankshaft would have to be removed from engine case to index the rod journals.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was struggling to get that crankcase bolt off. I tried to be careful but just to make sure is there a way to measure if crank is twisted - even the smallest amount? With plastigage and measure the clearances?

POST 2Original post

I can assure you did not twist the crank trying to remove that stubborn front crankshaft bolt, Yes twisting of crankshaft can be checked but crankshaft would have to be removed from engine case to index the rod journals. having dealt with aircraft engines with prop strikes which are more violent then what you went thru and having no issue during checks.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
