rebuild engine, reuse bolts?
I'm replacing my rings, main bearings and connecting rod bearings. Can I reuse the old main bearing and connecting rod bolts?

http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/tib...-rodbolts.html says the same thing my memory vaguely does, and quotes a page that is now 404:
Yes. Torqued properly, the main bolts are reusable. It gives me the willies to think about it, even though I understand the concept of not stretching bolts past the point of yield = reusable bolts. The rod bolts, get new ones.
