The bolts that came with my new flywheel are way too short to work. Can I reuse my old bolts or is that not done?

Well, this is yet another case of asking a question WITHOUT divulging critical information. Had you told us, as a group, that you're talking about a non-stock application, you would have gotten a correct answer. ALL 911 flywheel bolts are ALWAYS replaced after each torquing to spec. And they're not cheap .....................

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You guys have to be more specific in order to receive a specific answer.

Don't play around with torque to yield bolts. They're designed to stretch, and once they do, they're not to be used again. Especially don't play around on a 993 engine. That's a very expensive engine/tranny combo to cheap out on a few bolts for. If it was a 79 F-100 that you wanted to get a few more miles out of, I could somewhat understand. But it's not.
