For my car, which I just finished up yesterday, the crank bolt capture lined up perfectly and I didn't need to torque anything extra. I'll post my DIY notes. BTW- if you do need some stretch to make things line up, stretch on some of the 8 VTT bolts. DO NOT TORQUE THE CRANK BOLT unless you want to run the risk of messing up the timing and you know what you're doing to re-time the engine. Besides, it's pre-torqued to about 200 so you'd need some tools and probably will not be able to move it unless you lock the crank and cam first.
