i put my engine together only to read the wiki about the rod bolts which says they should be renewed every time...
Luckily engine not yet back in the car, but its a pain to take out the old ones and put in new ones...
The ones i re-used didnt seem distorted at all, and when i rebuilt my standard A14 3 years ago i just re used them (different ones by the way)and had no trouble....
The ones i have just re-used came off an A15 and this is the first time they've been removed...
is it too much risk to re-use them ?

The wiki should be corrected:
* Datsun said they can be re-used
* Nissan Competition said they should not be re-used on the suspect statement that they are "a true stretch bolt"
In other words, the Datsun engineers said reuse, a Sales organization said buy new ones
