LS7 Rods - re-use

I can not find any confirmation within the GM manual for re-use of the LS7 rod bolts. I have some rods with only a few hours on them I want to remove and re-install. Do I need new rod bolts because they are TTY? Usually the manual is real clear about this but I can not find it. Also if I replace the bolts do I need to re-machine the bog end like the old days?

Thanks!

I dont know anything about the LS7 rods, but if the bolts are TTY, get new ones.
