reuse rod bolts?
i have a b18c with less than 50k miles (if it matters). can i reuse the rod bolts? i will only be doing the rod on one piston (repair 
). i want to be sure they aren't torque to yield or anything else crazy like that. i'm already planning on studding the head... do i need to get rod bolts too?

Re: reuse rod bolts? (kaj)
just follow the correct torque spec in the helms manual and you will be fine.
no need to replace the rod bolts.........BUT since you are already down at the bottom end it probably wouldent hurt to replace them with some new ARP rod bolts.
its not that important but they could help in the long run if you plan to make some more power/rpm.
hope this helps.
