Rebuilding a 2008/2010 engine

For what it's worth on reusing parts...

I called Stu at Inertia regarding reusing a lot of the bolts and whatnot and this is what I got back. The main and head bolts, while they use an angular torque spec, are reusable and are NOT torque to yield bolts, though I would only reuse them one or two times. Angular torque specs are becoming more common with new parts because it offers a more accurate clamping load. The rod bolts MUST be replaced though, as they are torque to yield and the factory information backs this up.

From my own experience with my rebuild:

The head gaskets could theoretically be reused since they are MLS style, but if the rubber on them gets messed up you should replace them. I put my engine all together with new head gaskets and ended up replacing a head a month or two later and reused the new gasket without any problems, just cleaned it up real good, but I wouldn't reuse a gasket with several thousand miles on it for the price of a new one. I found rings hard to come by for a reasonable price, but since I had the block scuffed to break the glaze I went with new ones and would recommend just replacing them anyway for peace of mind. My rod and main bearings at 60,000 miles still looked brand new and I ended up reusing them with no problems so far (had the car running for almost a year now). I also reused most of the seals because they are O ring style and were still pretty flexible. The oil pump is still the original and for the time being I used the old timing chain, but I was planning on a cam swap some time down the road and was going to replace the timing set at the same time. After several thousand miles and a whole lot of wide open throttle I haven't seen any issues aside from a little more crankcase venting then I would expect, but my rings were gapped pretty big when I got them (bought them "factory fit", but they were on the upper edge of what was recommended). File fit rings might be the better way to go.
