Please pardon my ignorance, but which bolt is that? I haven't had my engine apart yet. Always good to be aware of left-handed threads before damaging tools and sinews trying to turn them the wrong way

Crankshaft bolt that also holds in the rear camchain & the water pump gearing, it has 'L' on the head and you only take it off if you have a major repair to make.
