99% of the time, If you have a factory Crank Balancer Retention Bolt, it will be a snug fit with you screw it into the crank, BY HAND OR WITH A SLIGHT FORCE USING A BOX END WRENCH. And the length of the bolt/washer to the end of the bolt should be a smaller length vs the depth of the hole in the crank snout with the balancer installed. YOU DO NOT WANT THE BOLT BOTTOMED OUT IN THE HOLE.
If this is the case you can torque that bolt to the specified PONTIAC crank bolt torque spec. A used factory crank/bolt should never be an issue but a billet or machined FORGED crank should have that dimension checked.
