Flywheel Bolts

[srjs28]

I have known guys to re-use them with no ill effects, but they werent running race cars either. Personally I would just replace them. Cheap insurance and piece of mind. Whatever you decide to do use loctite.

Get new ones, and use loctite.
Not worth the risk, they're cheap anyways

No they are not TTY bolts.

I make it a point that all bolts used to hood rotating assemblies be new. Flywheel, clutch, driveshaft. It's cheap insurance against lauching a flywheel into your leg.

new arp flywheel bolts are $10

however, on my first 5.0, i've re used the same set of flywheel bolts for 2-3 clutch jobs over the course of ten years and never had an issue

I have also reused flywheel bolts as well and have never had issues. But for 10 bucks why not get new ones.
