I had 620 Loctite on it, which is pretty good stuff. The primary
mechanism for the torque transfer between crank and hub isn't the bolt,
(and certainly not the keyway), it's the taper joint between the crank
nose and hub (and the clamping force provided by the bolt). The two
didn't match precisely, otherwise it would have taken a press to get
them apart (and I've done that several times too). I used coarse and
then finer lapping compound for probably two hours to lap the two
together for a tighter fit before reassembling again. Yep, I had to
tear the whole engine down to mate them properly....
