Retro fit 6.1 - parts check list

Dont throw out your wrench - I think you'll find it behaved like most Torque To Yield (TTY) bolts do upon re-tightening..... they break.

I've read that the main cap bolts are "torque to yield" and should not be re-used -

Also - I wonder about just "swapping" the two main cap bolts so the pick up stud is in the correct position.

The issue of just undoing one side and torquing it up again - I wonder if this effects bearing clearance?

Any thoughts on this folks?

Well, in my case, I have the 5.7 car motor. So the setup was a little different. There was no bolt for the oil pick up. So I had to buy new anyway. But from all the reading I have gone through. They have said its ok to reuse the bolt. But it is a TTY bolt, so I guess to your own thoughts. You can order the bolt straight from the dealer. Cost like ten bucks. Takes a few days To come in. I'll see if I can find the part number.
