I'm changing out my flywheel and would like to know if it really is necessary to replace the mounting bolts. I know that some bolts are supposed to stretch when torqued down and are considered as one time use. But the flywheel mounting bolts don't seem to be that type, so can they safely be re-used? Should Locktite be used on them if new or re-used?

I changed out mine...but only because I figured after 45 years it couldn't hurt. The old bolts looked fine though. I think a new locking plate is more critical. You can see the scratches in the plate dug in by the bolts in my clutch replacement video...
