im getting new cam retainer bolts because on the heads.cam swap we did on my friends ss we broke one of the stockers, although they are re usable...i just think that for $8 a peice it is worth it to replace them.

Depending on your mileage I would worry more about your retainer plate - it has a built in gasket for the lifter galleys. Surprising that you could break a retainer bolt. The torque specs on those are pretty low.
