I personally wouldnt reuse any main bolts or headbolts for that matter. Those are what they call a torque to yield bolt and arent meant to be reused. Bolts are relatively inexpensive so thats the route i would take but its up to you.

What if you want to check bearing clearances? Bolts are torqued up? Do you Get new ones every time? I am assembling a close to stock engine. On my race engine i used all ARP hardware (studs) so this was not a issue. The engine that is mostly stock will be used for back up,i really do not want to spend the money on studs. Is there a alternative bolt that can be purchased. Thanks JC
I definately got different different torque numbers than that link when I looked them up when I worked at the dealership. It said to torque the inner to 15 ft lbs and then 80 degrees and the outer to 15ft lbs and the 51 degrees. The rod bolts were different too. 15ft lbs and then 85 degrees.
