Yes, ARP rod bolts can be reused. We don't reuse the stock bolts because they are designed to stretch when torqued to yield point. The ARP stuff is hardened and does not stretch, which is why we just use normal torque ratings.

I'm not sure on the torque figure, you may contact ARP on that one.

Nineball, I agree with you on the non-reuse of the stock GM rod bolts since they are TTY however the GM Helms manual says you can re-use them. I wouldn't, though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
