    Can I reuse them? A new set's a bit expensive. Any tips on checking them out such as measuring the length? Or, just buck up and buy a Fel-Pro set?

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    From what I'm seeing - and it makes perfect sense.... torque-to-yield bolts stretch to the appropriate torque value. They shouldn't be used again because they're already stretched and won't give you the proper torque the second time around.
