pressure plate bolts (streatch bolts?)

Question. Someone told me the bolts on the pressure plate are stretch bolts, meaning i shouldn't reuse them. According to Chevy these bolts are discontinued, but the dude said that they shouldn't be stretch bolts, anyone know anything about this?

Re: pressure plate bolts (streatch bolts?)

look at the threads and neck closely, if they are torque to yield bolts I would think you should be able to see some stretching. I thought the same as you and asked a mechanic friend, he said if the threads and neck were fine they could be reused.
