Rocker shaft bolts .... renew every time or reuse ?

Hi
Simple question, when removing the rocker arm ( TD5 10p) , the LR workshop says renew every time. Is that what people are doing ? Or can you reuse them ? torque settings are only 32nm

slowly getting there with my. head replacement. Head fine, no dielsel leaks into oil, no coolant leakages happy bunny from thart point of view but the reconditioned injectors i put in,

clouds of unburnt diesel at startup every morning
missfire that clears up ( was really really bad to start with then got better)
and smell of unburnt diesel when running.
To strt with nanaocom said there was a big imbalance between injectors

Am just removing the reconditioned injectors to send back and. putting in the original ones for now.

Other small annoyance, LR copper washers ... no matter how much i clean the injector with ultra smooth sandpaper cant get copper washer down to the end. Turner engineering ones... just the perfect size . Anyone else seen this ?

Renew mate. I had one snap on me not even at torque spec. Had to have it machined out which was £££.

The new bolts from LRparts.net were £8 for the set
