Honestly I read these posts and its laughable. I refuse to name call or disrespect anyone because their opinion is other than mine. Good Luck OP

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.

Really you're going to go there... After what you posted when a man lost his fiancé in a wreck...and yes I remember it because it was a stupid thing to say.

Oh and you didn't call anyone names??? Yeah you're completely innocent

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

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.

Like RockinWs6 with all your "experience", yet you cannot identify a hydrolocked cylinder. You have no business offering your advice.
