I did not replace them on the full rebuild, but I did make sure they went back to the same location. From what the haynes repair manual claimed, you shouldn't replace them. I asked a mechanic about this and he said the same thing because the the threads already work together fine so why risk putting in a different thread? Seemed logical enough for me.

Dont you always use a tap clean and restore the threads in the block? If there is debris in the threads or burs to hang up on you will never get a proper torque reading on the bolts and they might not actually be tight.
