QuestionableChoices

My son and I swapping the engine in an 2004 RX-8. The car is new to us, and the previous owner had very recently installed a new clutch. I plan on reusing this clutch, but I've never replaced one before. I've watched a couple generic videos on clutch replacements, and one of them mentioned many times the bolts are Torque To Yield. I've looked at the WSM and I don't see any notes about TTY bolts needing to be replaced. Also, the torque specs are less than 20ft-lbs, which doesn't seem like a value that's going to yield a bolt. I've googled for answers searched this forum, but I don't see any reference to TTY. I just want to confirm these are not one time use bolts. Thanks for the help!

They are no problem to re-use. Especially for stock pressure plate and stock power outputs.

I tend to replace mine with ARP bolts.... but that's at a lot higher power level
