Re-using 3fe head bolts?

[BDSeff1fitty]

Hi, I always reuse mine if not rusty. Never had a problem on any car or marine engine . Mike

I'm building a 2FE and the current bolts are from an abused 300k mile engine so i'm not putting too much trust in the originals

Some VW's some BMW's, blah de blah have 1 use bolts.

Land cruiser bolts are almost indestructable.

If you found them torqued to 250 ft- lbs, THEN I would throw them out.

Otherwise, measure them all to make sure they're the same length,
and use 'em. oh, 2 might be longer- that's ok! Just make sure to put them
back on the lifting bracket...

I have two spare sets of bolts for the 3FE if anyone needs them.

Scott I may take you up on that if I can't find any cheap alternatives.
