Default Re-use ARP flywheel bolts?

Is it a bad idea to re-use flywheel bolts? I have ARP bolts, but I don't know if heat cycles, stress removing them etc etc..make them not "smart" to re-use.

I think that's what the ARP's are designed for...stronger bolt and re-usable because they're not TTY like the stockers...obviously, just re-apply red loc-tite to threads, and I used ARP assembly lube under the head of the bolt before torquing to 85 ft-lbs...if you use the lube, be sure to wipe away any excess after final torquing, because centrifugal force might throw it onto the clutch disc

Either way you will be fine. Go ARP though.

Stock aren't TTY, either. I reused my factory PP and FW bolts when I did the clutch in my 2000; I plan on reusing the factory bolts when I do the clutch in my 2002 over the winter.

My opinion: get the ARP if you need new bolts or aren't on a budget.
