I am in the middle of an e30 s52 swap and I replaced the pick up tube with the e34 style and the e34 style oil pan interferes with the original pickup tube bracket that is attached to the main caps. Can I reuse these bolts when they are pulled out? Also I was told to dip the threads in motor oil before reinstalling them? Lastly what is the proper torque setting? I read 20Nm + 50 degrees. Is that correct? TIA

WOW!! No response. You must gotten an answer somewhere else, hopefully.

No these are single use due to them being stretch bolts.
