Can you re-use the headbolts on 5.0 motors?

Most peoeple say not to re-use stretch bolts, But I think it's ok to re-use them a couple of times.

never re-use 'torque to yield' head bolts.

I believe they were only used on '92/'93 and later.

Reuse them. But remember that ARP head bolts are only 35.99 from Summit.
