I believe if you are going to use those stock T bolts, use them once and replace.

its like powder coating, they do it by the pound. that was something that paul had had done a couple years ago.

I think of it like a cylinder head, or a flywheel, I wouldnt dare reuse bolts on one.



Torque isnt too high for them, so i guess you could reuse them. But I wouldnt, new bolts are cheaper than another rebuild.
