Head bolts?

RE: Head bolts?
If you have torque to yield head bolts do not reuse them. No matter what anyone says reusing the bolts is not a good idea. The first time the bolts are used they are put into the plastic reigon of deformation which they can not recover from. Reusing the bolts puts you at a greater risk for breaking a bolt since it is already in the plastic reigon and will continue to deform plastically as it is torqued a second time.

Just for the record, I think TTY hardware is freakin lame. Whatever engineer thought up the idea of stretching a bolt beyond it's ability to ever maintain tensile integrity again should be shot. It's a waste of perfectly good steel.
