This one's an '83. It's got over 200K miles on it, so it seems feasible that someone's removed the bolt before to change and oil pump o-ring or crank seal, and then just gone a bit overboard when re-tightening the bolt. I've already broken one breaker bar by locking the flywheel with a screwdriver and putting a 5' scaffold pole over the bar! I think this one's an engine out job in this case.
