Think about it.
If you got the car and the originals never had any repairs (the exception being the cars
built in the mid 60s with the Nylon Timing Gears), your engines and the Bolt have probably been off the crank from no more than a couple of times, unless the engine was played with and either raced or rebuilt at one point in its life.

That being said the Original Harmonic Bolts should be like a NOS part and good to go for years to come. I never throw away a Harmonic Balancer bolt removed from a junk yard engine. They are as good as you can get for a Pontiac engine vs the Chinese stuff out there. I wish I had kept a few more over the years vs give them away.
