As discussed, they're low-torque, but does anyone have any anecdotal evidence or science behind needing to replace the valve cover bolts in regards to failure of the bolt itself after re-use?

I wouldn't want to reuse the bolts anyway due to potential leaking from degraded grommets, but:
- A grommet kit to reuse the bolts is now being being sold for $100, versus
- 24x11127841217 bolts & 2x11127841218 screws for $244 with FCP warranty.
