Reusing main bolts??

[scarecrow]

I guess these are torque to yield bolts and one time use. I did a quick teardown to inspect bearings etc and everything looks cherry. New bolts are $7.50 each and there are 14 of them $7.50x14=$105. Im poor and thats almost as much as I paid for my junkyard m52 on half off day
Has anyone gotten away with reusing them?

If you tore down the motor and seen bad bearings etc were you just going to scrap the motor? Do it right..

go ahead, reuse them. Whats the worst thing that could happen.

Ive reused them on one of our techs cars. Never had a problem with them, though i obviously wouldnt recommend it.
