Never use a stretch bolt twice, its false economy.
I know people that cut some off the bottom and use again on non turbo which is fine, but on turbo motors the boost in the cylinder will push the head off if the bolts have stretched.
By the time you have paid for labour, head gaskets, oil, etc etc a set of head bolts would have been alot cheaper. But then the engine builder should have known that if he knew whats what
