As some of you know, I have had a hard time installing a new water pump on my 1991 745 turbo. One of the new bolts has sheared off. And at a torque that was way below the 10 ft-lbs it should have been able to withstand.

I now have two of the new, genuine Volvo, bolts left, and all three of the old, genuine Volvo, bolts. The old ones were only in the car for just over a year. They are noticably different from the new ones. The fact that one of the new ones has sheared off makes me doubt the quality and strength of the two remaining new bolts.

Can I safely reuse the old bolts? They were torqued to 10 or 11 ft-lbs before, and never subject to overheating or anything like that. If I have to buy new bolts, and considering that I don't have faith in the new ones from Volvo, where could I get them?
