Seriously??? I have looked at the posts you started and they don't show 47 years of experience?
I don't care if a person has 2 years or 70 years experience if they know what they are doing, Some of the smartest people I have met have had only a few years experience in their line of work and know more than someone who 3x as much experience.
I don't claim to be a better than everyone else, I know plenty who are smarter than me but I also have met plenty who claim to be a genius that can't understand basic principles.
Link to tests???...Oh wait I know better, You won't have one.
A very knowledgeable engineer would not say they are ok to be reused, That would go against everything they were taught.
They will work but as I said earlier you can't just guess at how far to tighten them and using the stock procedures.
Of all the things to save money on I can't see why anyone would want to reuse TTY bolts.
I know I have enough money into my engines that it would be crazy to try to save a few bucks and they aren't anything special.

I bet you he's that same guy that posted up a couple months ago that couldn't understand why he got fired from walmart for leaving a rag in someone's engine. He said if only they had told him about the first time he did it he would have been more careful after that and it's bs they fired him for doing it twice in a couple of months. That dude was near 60, and douchebag ws6 has 140 something years of experience in engineering and turning wrenches. Yet leaves rags in everything and can't get anything right, even his story.

Hmmm don't know what to tell you except people loose a lot more than you're blubbering about. Seriously you have no idea. Be glad you were spared and MOVE ON! Anything else is a complete waste of time. Don't like what I said...too bad no one cares about that either. Grow up.

LOL I could go back and quote several times he's name called me alone for giving him information he was looking for.
Edit: I had to go read that thread where the dude lost his wife to see those comments. The dude (rockinws6) is a piece of **** for that

Feeling pain is one thing, blubbering I can't go on is just BS. OK DOOD GAME over you are finished. Is that better? If he was my kid I'd slap him around a little till he woke up. Hes here breathing, shes DEAD GONE what is he complaining about! Seriously I think its petty and unmanly to type such weird crap like "I cleaned my guns and lighted weights to protect her" WTH is that????? I married 45 years and seriously think anyone who would type such crap is so immature and effed up only large doses Thorazine could help them.

Ive reused them several times. 22, 50, 70 , 80ft lb is what i do.. On the 80 pass if a bolt feels sketchy i let off. Ive broken a couple before and helicoiled the block.
My own **** has new stuff lol
