Default Reuse ARP head Bolts?

Quick question, can ARP head bolts be reused or are they torque to yield like stock ones?

Did you TTY them when you installed them the first time?

ARP bolts are not TTY bolts.

Yes sir you can reuse those no problem. As stated previously, make sure you clean them up well and use the ARP assembly lube.

A lot of ARP bolt products can be re-used. Headbolts, crank bolts, etc...

Wow, that was quick! I guess that's a resounding YES. The ARP procedure was used the first time so mine are still good.
