Replace Tension bolts
Replace Tension bolts
On my volvo, it's suggested that the head bolts are replaced when rebuilding.
Does the same go for the tension bolts on rotaries? Should they be replaced when doing a rebuild?

They are not torque to yield like many head bolts, but instead made of spring steel because they need to compensate for the engine expanding and contracting as it is made of alternating slabs of aluminum and steel. Fine to reuse.
