Hey Guys,
I don't see anything in the manual to the contrary, but wanted to confirm that the rod & main bolts (which require a torque plus 90 deg turn) are reusable? As far as I can tell they are not TTY.

Still, he's right. FSM does not flag them as non-reusable (see attachment). In fact, it is pretty clear to the contrary:

8. INSTALL MAIN BEARING CAP BOLTS
HINT:
The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive
steps (steps (b) and (d)).
If any main bearing cap bolt is broken or deformed, replace
it.

(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the heads of the main bearing cap bolts.
(b) Install and uniformly tighten the 8 main bearing cap bolts
in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Torque: 61 N·m (625 kgf·cm, 45 ft·lbf)
If any one of the main bearing cap bolts does not meet the
torque specification, replace the cap bolt.

11. INSTALL CONNECTING ROD CAP NUTS
HINT:
The connecting rod cap nuts are tightened in 2 progressive
steps (steps (b) and (d)).
If any connecting rod bolt is broken or deformed, replace
it.

(a) Apply a light of engine oil on the threads and under the
nuts of the connecting rod cap.
(b) Install and alternately tighten the nuts of the connecting
rod cap in several passes.
Torque: 25 N·m (250 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf)
If any one of the connecting rod cap nuts does not meet the
torque specification, replace the cap nut.

My bolding above.
