It's coming loose, definitely. Belts aren't wearing.

The bolt is broken off near the end I guess. See links to images. The
end of the bolt remains in the crankshaft bore, and I need to get it
out.
Though the threads on the bolt look chewed, the threads in the crank
look OK as best I can tell; not sure what scenario lead to this.

Assuming it is the same as a 616, as I recall, it is about 1" or a
little longer on the threaded part, and there is a stretch collar
above that. It is a hardened bolt, but you may be able to drill the
