[QUOTE="corvairbob, post: 16518, member: 5236"] thanks but i can afford it i was just curious how other do this. in my machine repair years a lot of botks were torque to yeid according to the hex key companies but i found they said the to sell bolts. one time i had the engineer test anew hew bolt and a used bolt and they were both the same in measurements and in the pull test he did. i have a corvair that has torque to yield studs and the corvair guys resue them. and ihave resued them many times. one reason is the studs are set in the block from the factory and if you remove them y0u disturb the thereads and new studs tend to pull out, been there and done that. and i'm not a fan of helicoils most toolmakers will not use helicoids either. so for this engine i was curious if some did reuse them. kind of like the flywheel boths that are said to be torque to yeild and in this enging when itook off the flyweer so i can change out the rear main seal those bolts were blue locktited so that tells me they were resued most likely from an engine rebuild or swap at the dealer. the engine to bellhouse bolts were also locktieted . the factory does not use Loctite in assembly. thanks [/QUOTE]
