Big end bolts

Hi all,

I'm replacing the piston rings on my sons Corsa and wondering whether or not the big end bolts can be reused.

Any thoughts / comments appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

Haynes says probably new bolts needed. Torque depends.

SOHC with 15mm thread length = 18ft/lbs. OLD bolts reuse.
SOHC with 40mm thread length = 18ft/lbs then 30 degrees. NEW bolts.
DOHC is also 18ft/lbs and then 30 degrees. NEW bolts.
