Re: Final word on reusing head bolts..?

I think I recall my ASE guidebook saying "reusse max of once", proviso being that a lot of newer engines have torque-to-yield fasteners that you can't reuse at all.
On the Chev... go for it. Clean the holes out, clean the bolts, check for damage - but you'll be fine.
