Main stud and main bolt question Are the main studs and bolts reuseable? Ive already read that the side main cap bolts are not reuseable.
Ive read both that the main studs and bolts can be reused and Ive read that they cannot be reused.
Which one Is It?
I did find all the bolts at a decent price but I still would like to know.
If I can reuse the studs and bolts then I can go ahead and torque the main caps down.
Thanx,

They are reusable! As cheap as they are though I would replace them since you don't know how much fatigue is on the originals. Basically use your best judgement on that.

You can reuse the small ones, as well.
On your originals, you'll see some sealer, which was put there to prevent oil from leaking from the block. Just put some sealer in the same spot, and torque.
