6.9 head bolts help
Hey guys im building1980 6.9 f150.im regasketing and painting the 6.9 and I was wondering if the head bolts can be reused or are they onetime use. It is an early block with late heads. The heads were rebuilt so I dont no how old the bolts are.thanks guys

You can reuse them, they are not torque-to-yield bolts.
Some guys won't though, and I suppose if you're running crazy boost or something studs would be a good idea for peace of mind, but with a stockish engine reusing is no problem.
