VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I wouldn't even consider re-using parts if your having a new bottom end built mate.Pete Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Both are listed as stretch bolts, and as such 'should' be replaced, it is better to replace with ARP bolts, as these are better quality and are re usable. Link to post Share on other sites
