Con rod bolts

When do you need to replace these?
I have taken my crank out for a little work on it, do I need to bolt rods back to it with New bolts?

I don't see why I should need to, but thought I best check.

Cheers

I believe you can use arp, s three times as long as they stay within there accepted tolerances.

just to add you should change them as there stretch bolts. just the same as you would change head bolts every time you took the head off
