I'm curious, someone have a good logical explain for not reusing U bolts ?
I've never NOT reused them, and I have NEVER seen a U bolt fail either.
I've done hundreds of valve jobs in my career, and never changed a head bolt either. But then, I never change a wheel bearing unless damaged either.
RJ, I'm with you and you'll probably never have a problem reusing them. I replaced mine because I went with a slightly larger diameter for greater strength with the heavier springs. They were pretty cheap too. Another reason is Dexter recommends against reusing them as I recall.
