Engine Case bolts.......?

[leatal]

For you guys who have the opened and closed the crankcase, did you replace all the case bolts or did you reuse the bolts? I plan on using new bolts for internal parts, and to save $150, would like to reuse the external case bolts. The external case bolts only torque to 28nm so maybe safe to reuse?

I have reused the same bolts on many case splittings with no issues

I agree, I've had a few stretch while torquing, but I just replaced those that wouldn't stand the torque.
