This is my first post so I'll start by saying hi. When I asked around for a mature and knowledgeable board your guys name came up so I have high expectations. j/k
I have an 88 CRX that I bought back from someone I sold it to a few years ago. It has a few engine problems now, it needs a new headgasket, timing belt...ect nothing to hard so I took on the project. I've owned and worked on Honda's for years so I tore into the motor without any books. Right now I'm stuck on the crankshaft bolt. I tried taking it off counter clock wise but couldn't get it to move. I thought I remembered the crank shaft bolt being reverse thread so I tried it clock wise. Still nothing, so I put the rachet on the sub frame and had someone bump over the starter. The bolt looked like it tightened another 1/16 of a turn. Now I'm worried that I made the problem worst.
Anyone know which thread the crankshaft bolt is? Thanks.

No one has an idea which thread the bolt is?

I typed "crank pulley bolt direction" into the search engine and i got this:https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...bolt+direction

It is a regular right handed thread.
