I'm not Samy, but many bolts stretch and can't be reused, especially head bolts and frame bolts.

Can you re use conrod bolts on a kia picanto 1.1 2010

Dear Esra,
In the United States, our traditions are to never reuse connecting rod bolts, or head bolts, (or other engine assembly bolts for that matter,) because of "stretching".
Since all these bolts are torqued to a high number, they will stretch somewhat, even if it is a few thousands of an inch.
Therefore, reusing them can cause a mis-reading of the torque.
So, in America, almost all certified mechanics use new bolts for each engine assembly.
God bless your efforts.

Ball joint snapped while driving and the cv joint came out the side of the engine as well but still all intact. Can I slide it back on and use it again or should I buy a new one I have the 98 grand prix gt...

If the cv boots( the rubber booties) are still intact and not torn or cracked then you are probably OK to reuse them. They are sealed, hold grease , and keep the dirt out. As far as getting the rivets out I prefer to use an air chisel, it is the fastest and most affective way I have found.

Can I get a thumbs up rating..............Thanks
