Hi Accord gurus,

I am re-assembling the top end on a used 95 Accord I bought.

Question: Are the head bolts re-usable or are they Torque-to-Yield (throw away). I would assume they are re-usable since extensive searching online has not turned up any head bolt kits for this car. Would like to be sure though.

Your thoughts?...

Thanks!

re-use. if you were going for some hp build you could look in arp or something but a mild to stock....reuse them unless there is damage. normal rules-clean threads, lube, ect.....

I've heard mixed reviews on these stock Honda head bolts. I've always buy new ones just to be on the safe side with OEM headgasket. I've heard a few re-used them with no problem; just that they torqued the headbolts like 5 more ft-lbs or something like that just to be on the safe side.
