Reusing Rocker Arm Bolts?

ggeorgia · Dec 1, 2020

I'm putting new cylinder heads on my Tahoe along with a lot of other new hardware (rockers, valves, springs, etc) and was wondering if I should replace the Rocker Arm bolts. They're a lot more expensive than you'd think if you go OEM -- about $8 each and I'd need 16 of course.

I've always reused mine without any issues.

Much appreciated!

I do believe the book suggests using black RTV on the threads.

Thanks for the tip. Which book in particular? I was planning on using blue threadlock, but I suppose there are reasons for using black RTV.

This is the book I've used when doing motor work.
