Fixing oil leaks and getting ready to torque down the crank shaft pulley bolt and noticed this after popping off the inspection plate for the torque converter.

Can't find the exact torque number for this bolt and not sure why it's loose?

the only time i have seen that happen provided it ws torqued correctly to start with was when the flex plate was cracked at that bolt that was loose.
 
I’d check all of them. And use red thread locker
 
I wannna say those are 45ftlbs? There is one different one out of all them that is a slightly different color it goes where the one you have loosening out is with the dot on the flywheel. It’s all layed out in the fsm engine section.
 
Thanks guys. Found it in the FSM, re-torqued all of them 40 ft lbs with red locktite. There are no noticeable cracks in the plate or any noise that's not supposed to be there so hopefully it just came loose by itself.
