Hello everyone.

What's the consensus on reusing head bolts. I understand they're built to 'stretch' in order to hold themselves in the block better.

Can they be trusted, or do they need to be replaced? Can I replace half of them?

What's the chances of breaking bolts when I'm taking them out?

Any ideas about reinstallation? Oil vs dry? Heavy oil vs light oil? Thread locker?
