When to use new fasteners in Engine Block assembly?
Hello !
I have new fasteners for my connecting rods, but I want to make sure that I am following best practices with the remainder of the block/girdle assembly.
Can the girdle fasteners be re-used? The washers?
Any guidance or details would be very greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance, in advance.

Porsche says the 10mm and 12mm nuts for the cradle (#9 and #11) are a one use application.
I always replace them.....for whatever that is worth.
They have a special locking compound inside the threads....which will set-up if you just thread them part way on, so use the old nuts for any "trial assembly".
