bad idea using "used" arp head bolts

like the title says, going to be used in a b16... bolts were said to be used for 6000 miles. Im getting a good deal.

Would the bolts suffer any damage even in the block had damage, like from detonation or something, just wondering...

usually these "stretch" a bit so its not a good idea to reuse them

They're designed to be used over and over again, unlike the stock bolts. Go for it.

p.s.-ARP makes head studs, not bolts.

They can be used many times. Check the specs, but I believe the torque numbers change after the first usage....
