    questions on bottom end

    So finaly got the LS1 torn down to bare block so I can send off to have cam bearings pressed in. And I started wondering. The headbolts, crankbolt, and a few other bolts that have to be torqued down very tight on these motors have to be replaced after each use. What about the bolts on the caps? are they able to be reused?
    Also started buffing and waxing the truck. hopefully will look good when it finaly rolls out of the shop!

    Are they torque to yield?

    Only bolts that are tty are the head bolts and crank bolt. All others can be reused.

    Awesome thanks DB. Wanted to make sure before I started the reconstruction.

    I don't always build engines but when I do, I install ARP main cap bolts.
