I read recently that the Buick 3800 SC series 2 engines have "Rod BOLTS" that are "torque to yield", making them "non reusable". IS this True ?? So,:drunk: if I wanted to check the rod and main bearings before installing this engine, once I took off the rod caps, I can no longer just re-torque "without having to replace the rod bolts" ?? This doesn't sound reasonable. Can someone verify if this is TRUE ?? Thanks
