Reuse of arp head studs
ARP tech told me that i can reuse my head studs
they said
when you torque the studs you're stretching them.. when you loosen them again, they return to there previous state. ARP studs are designed to do this over and over without un-loaded stretching or fatigue.
anyone done this, cause it will save me £200 i havent got.
and its from arp techs mouth

If a bolt or stud remains stretched after use it's surely an indication that it has experienced loading beyond it's elastic limit and therefore will have lost clamping force.
