How many times can rod and main bolts be torqued?
I just called ARP and then my engine shop. ARP said that there isnt really a maximum amount of times that they can be torqued, but after the 4th or fifth time it would be good to replace them. They said the way to tell is take a before and after measurement to make sure they go back to their original length. But I didn't do an initial measurement, but he said what I could do is measure them initially before I torque them for bearing clearances, and then measure once I loosen them to make sure they are the same. Because the bolt is essentially a spring like already mentioned, and as long as it isn't over-tightened then it will go back to its original length.
My engine shop said that it shouldn't be an issue either as the bolts aren't torque to yield (I just torqued them to the specified value), but just to use the ARP lube when I torque them.
And krazykuda did say that after 5 times they should be replaced, so I am within that. No cheaping out or anything but from what I am reading that as long as I dont have any obviously stretched bolts or something that doesn't torque properly I should be good to use them again. And about the fatigue that rusty was talking about they have only been torqued and ran once, so I should be good there too.
