Pre-used flywheel bolts ok?
When I mounted the used T56 transmission I just used the enclosed flywheel - and pressure plate bolts.
Torqued according to the LT1 instruction manual and used Loctite thread lock.
After that I've been thinking. Should I have used new bolts? A loose flywheel is scary, but on the other hand, if everything is ok, changing the bolts now is a lot of extra work since the transmission is mounted in place.
The motor is a 350 cid L05 rebuilt with carb.

Ditto. Same with PP bolts torqued mine to 30 lbs last night with no issue. Some say 15 lbs + whatever extra turn, ok.

Thank you for your answers!
I'm not a Camaro owner, but thirdgen is where I ask my T56 and LO5 motor questions.
