reuse arp headstuds?
I have a gsr swap and i have just barely 5k miles on it..it has been rebuilt but now i need to take my head off again. are ARP headstuds reusable after being already streched and torqued??

OEM headbolts stretch when torqued. Honda came up with the OEM torque specs using this data and when you torque already stretched bolts, you get incorrect/uneven torque across the head. ARP bolts do not stretch (or at least take quite a few uses to do so) and different torque specs are given as they do not have the stretching to compensate for.
