I'm getting ready to strip down my engine bay and I wanted to know if it was safe to reuse my ARP headbolts. They were only used once, for about a year (less than 5-6000 miles).
Re-using ARP headbolts?

ARP bolts are reusable. Remember to place the radius on the washer next to the radius under the bolt head.
Use anti sieze under the heads of all all the bolts and on the threads of the long bolts. The short bolts get a coat of teflon pipe dope or the special ARP sealant since they screw directly into the water jacket.

Thanks a lot jrichker, I used the ARP sealer last time, and the bolts have the washers for the larger headbolts so I'll remeber that.

If you can afford it use the ARP stud kit you can use it over and over again and you don't have to worry about them shearing off eventually!
