Agreed. They are one time use only. When the bolts are tightened for the first time to the tq spec it stretches the bolt. So if you try to tq it to that spec again the bolt is already stretched and wont give you a proper seal from head to block. But that doesnt mean just give it more tq. So i would recomend just buying new ones.
