My buddy is selling some used ARP studs, and I didnt know if it would be a good buy or not. After you stretch them in your block should they be reused?

nothing in the literature says to throw them out after a use.

say you are the original buyer, install them, and 2 years later need to rebuild the head........... you gonna get new ones? NOPE.

the nice thing about a stud, is its designed to stretch. not the same as a bolt.

i bought mine used, and have a year on them. after the first install and retorque, no movement. and i just checked and retorqued them sunday.

i was wondering this same thing one day so i called ARP, they told me that "ideally" they are reusable. what i got from the conversation was that they are reusable as long as they weren't damaged.
