OK, I'm ready to TQ my rod bolts back down after widening my ring gaps. The spec I found was 15 ft lbs - first pass, then 75* on second pass. Is that the right specs for USED BOLTS ? usually, I always thought the rod bolts were "angle tightened" on the first setup to stretch the bolts, then any retorque after the initial built would be to a " LBS TQ SPEC ". Steer me right, guys.......

Here you go. They don't give *used* specs in the book. That I can find that is.

I would not reuse a rod bolt. They're cheap enough to replace and you're already in there, why not put some good ones in there while you're at it.

I've reused my gen 4 bolts twice now. Still holding strong with three times the torque of a stock engine.

Doesn't make it a good idea. To the $ I would replace them.
