PTV, Head Gaskets, TTY Head Bolts
Going to be checking PTV clearance on a cam install using the clay method. A few questions.
1. I have brand new factory head gaskets. Will they be able to be reused after clamping the head down or will i need to buy a second set?
2. I have a brand new set of factory TTY head bolts. For checking purposes the old ones would be fine to use so i dont stretch the new bolts correct?

yes on your 2nd question. on your 1st i just tightened them down a lil more than hand tight and checked it to see if it was close it wasnt so i torqued them down in sequence and made sure i had no interference when turning over the motor.
