Honda F/K/L/R Series Crank Pulley Bolt 90017-PCX-013

Honda F/K/L/R Series Crank Pulley Bolt - 90017-PCX-013

Doing a timing job, front main seal, or engine rebuild? Add this to your cart right now. The Honda crank pulley bolt (OEM part 90017-PCX-013) is a torque-to-yield fastener - it stretches when you torque it to spec, and that stretch is exactly what creates the clamping force that keeps your crank pulley locked down. Once it's been torqued, it's done. You don't reuse it.

This bolt fits Honda F, K, L, and R series engines, covering everything from the F20C/F22C in the S2000 to the K20/K24 in your RSX, Civic Si, or Accord, to the L15 turbo in the 1.5T Civic and CR-V, and the R18 in base Civics. One part number, a huge range of Honda and Acura applications spanning 2000 through 2026.

Why You Can't Reuse Your Old Crank Pulley Bolt

Here's what actually happens when you torque a crank pulley bolt: the bolt stretches past its elastic limit. That permanent stretch creates consistent, calibrated clamping force across the joint. It's not a design flaw - it's intentional. But it means the bolt is a one-time-use fastener. Once stretched, it won't clamp to spec a second time.

If you reuse an old bolt, you're gambling with your crank pulley staying put. A loose crank pulley means your serpentine belt slips, your harmonic balancer stops doing its job, and your timing goes out the window. Worst case: the pulley walks off the crank, takes out your front main seal, and turns a $15 bolt into a $1,500 repair. Don't do it.

Order It With Your Other Parts

Any job that requires pulling your crank pulley needs a new bolt - timing belt, timing chain service, water pump, front main seal, you name it. Order this at the same time as your other parts so it shows up together. You don't want to get halfway through a timing job and realize you're missing a $15 bolt that's now a two-day wait.

Torque Specs Matter

Follow your factory service manual torque procedure exactly. Most Honda K, L, and R series applications use a two-step torque process: initial torque value followed by an additional degree rotation (typically 90 ft-lbs + 90 degrees, but verify for your specific engine). The F20C/F22C in the S2000 has its own spec. Don't guess - look it up for your exact engine before you start.
