ARP head bolts - reusable?

ARP 11 mm head bolts are reusable, right?

The motor going into my GLH-T has ARP bolts now, but I've got a set of ARP studs to use instead. Can I just clean up the bolts and store them in a Ziplock, or should I toss them?

Sure, I'll toss 'em your way! :big grin:

Right.

if uve only used them once, they should be good.
if u want to verify that they're good tho, on the last 1/4 turn, if they dont hit 90lbs, then they're not good.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. But I believe ARP headbolts are NOT strectch to yield.

If they are like the studs, you are correct. You torque them according to ARP specs, which for the studs is 70 ft/lbs with the ARP moly lube.
