Default Head Studs?

Are the head studs on a 92 accord reuseable or do they strech and need to be repalced on each head gasket change? Also anyone know the torque for the head studs and the cam caps?

Thanks
Mike

if this is ur first time pulling the head, you are safe, but if its more than 2 times, i would atleast measure the bolt stretch on them.

i dont know, i think those are torque to yield bolts made from bar stock and they probably are meant to stretch, just check the threads but i would suggest getting new ones. the 50-100 dollars is not worth fretting over when u ight have to redo the gasket change. but i would suggesst getting arp head bolts. they are much better quality and are made not to stretch and be re used.
