How many times can rod and main bolts be torqued?

What he said ^^^^^. PLUS there's this. Think of how much inertia is put on the rod bolts with each engine revolution. Think of race cars in the staging lanes and how they rev the engines to clear them out before a race. Now, imagine the rod bolts having to hold all that together. The rod bolts actually stretch and rebound ever so slightly with each revolution. In other words, they HAVE a service life! This is why I REFUSE to do an engine job if someone does not want to pay for new good quality rod bolts and at least reconditioning the rods. It's that important.
