What's been the problem with reusing head bolts? Why would the FSM advise checking them for stretch if they shouldn't ever be reused? If they're in spec, and clean, and you chase the threads in the block with a tap first, what would the problem be? I'm not asking to be argumentative, but rather to learn about the matter.
