I’m pretty sure on a 4 you can but not on a 6. There was a thread 6-12 months ago.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Because such a large diameter surface area of the PP mounting face the M8 bolts don't see much stress and are OK to reuse. The /6 flywheel bolts are suppose to stretch like rod bolts, so it's recommended to replace, personally I think it's BS but for $10-15 worth of bolts I don't chance it. |
