Hi,
each bolt iss oxidized so I want opt for stainless steel.. I would unscrew one for know both depth/screw pitch.. my doubt is if gasket comes loose or leak/yields, so be forced to disassemble lower crankcase too.. could I avoid these risks if I unscrew an oxidized bolt at a time, so for replace it at the same time with one of the neew ones..
Bye
 
I'm not a metallurgist, but I know SS has different properties than steel, tougher in some ways, but weaker in others.
 
Tripps is right. It is something to consider before purchasing. Do a little research first.

The engine cases are fit together with a bonding material that is not a gasket. I think uninstalling and replacing 1 bolt at a time would be OK to do.
 
Hmmmm personally I wouldn't risk it dude, the manual has a specific bolt torquing sequence.

But... if you wish to know the lengths of bolts, and quantities, i took this note (06 engine).
Bold numbers are the tightening sequence, the numbers in brackets () are the bolt lengths.

it's should be considered before, so later maybe don't do it
