Default Can ls1 head bolts be reused?

I know they are torque to yield bolts but most of those I have dealt w/h on other cars are safely used up to 3 times but I'm not sure about the ls1's although I see no difference between them & any other head bolt.Thanks in advance for any info! Scott

You aren't really suppose to. You will might get away with doing it or you might only get away with doing it for a little while before you get some leakage.

Yes they can be reused...after the first use they are stretched and you can use more of a TQ setting than a angle torque setup.

But they are so cheap, why not replace them?
