Thank you for the link. Seems I missed that post.
I'm not against the replacement of certain bolts like TTY per say.
My Mack U Bolts at 1-14" and the 1800ft.lb tq spec, I would never re-use them. Despite the extreme cost and poor availability. An extreme example.
Head bolts would be another area of concern.
I'll be yanking my plate off soon, so I'll have more perspective. Hopefully no curses.
Great forum here, by the way. Lot's of good info, and community.
