Do any of the bolt holes go into the crankcase area? I know on my old GTA, a few of the intake bolts did go into the oil galley area inside the heads. If you didn't coat the bolt threads with some sealer, they would leak and compromise the intake seal in that area.

I thought these newer Camaros took a FIPG sealer and not a rubber gasket like the old school cars?

I don't think the sun would've warped a 1/8" piece of diecast aluminum. If it had the potential to do that, our hoods would look like melted butter.

When you do it for the 3rd time, I'd get new oil pan bolts just be safe.

You might've stripped one or more of holes in the aluminum block by doing it so many times, but we won't go there. That would be worst case senario.
