TTY bolts

I know this has been asked before on the head bolts, but can we reuse the valve cover TTY bolts? I may have no choise as I cannot find these damn things anywhere.

Oh, they aren't TTY? Well shit! That clears up everything then, whew. I had them on and everything about to torque them down and when I was thinking about it.. I thought they were TTY.

Sweet, thanks for the reply ThatShoGuy.

Be careful with the valve cover bolts as they bottom out. Do not over tighten them. Also put a bit of silicone grease on the rubber. Without they will stick over time and when they get removed again they will rip.
