I put new big end nuts and bolts in the engine when I first rebuilt the engine. Unfortunately, not long after I got it up and running I had to strip the engine again.
The engine was only running for about 15 minutes but opinion seems to be divided about whether the old bolts are still useable or if new bolts are required.
It's about £30/$45 for a set of bolts which I could use for other items if I didn't need to replace the bolts but I don't want to compromise the next built by cutting corners.
