TIS specifies to use the old OE bolts to check clearance. That is not the issue. |
Exactly what I remembered too. Got me double thinking when I saw

Nothing wrong with using those old bolts for the plastigage step.
What if someone used a high torque gun on clockwise trying to undo the rod cap. Wonder if that's what it takes to ruin the rod threading.
