how many times can i reused headbolts
this will be the second time i reinstall the head on my b18b
i have broken my timing belt twice and the 2nd time ..let me tell ya it was the charm.
,,,anywho i was thinking about getting arp head studs....but i was wondering if i can get away with using the oem bolts ...i know they "strech" a little and this being the third time they would be installed ,i just dont know the procedure...
anyhelp would be great

it's recommened that you do change them every time you take off your head.. be safe and by new ones 
... also, how many miles are on the motor?

You can't reuse headbolts. People do, but they're stupid. The bolts stretch when torqued. You're just begging for a leak, that's too critical so just spend the money for new bolts. You don't HAVE to get ARP.
