does the fsm give a way to measure to see if it will go again? if not i would change them. it is not that much money.

They are stretch bolts. If you can measure/compare against the fsm then you should but otherwise I would recommend replacing them.

If they are indeed stretch bolts there is no question on replacing them. Replace them!

Always replace them...the new ones threads are covered with sealer too.
Used angle torque bolts to hold in a 40 lbs flywheel/torque convertor assembly, at 5800 rpm ! :eek: This rotating mass is not something you need looking for daylight !:rolleyes:
