A few people told me you cant re use ARP headstuds. IS this true? I have never heard of this. ?

I had Arp studs on cometic gasket. Just installed cosworth gasket and cosworth studs as we believe head was lifting as up to 24pound now. I do believe u could reuse them if u havent had head gasket issues but there are better ones on the market. Cosworth was super expensive but so are rebuilds.

check the ARP site- many older cars use head bolts that stretch to torque--ARP are not designed that way and therefore can be reused. Now the question becomes, how many times? I would think at least a few times as long as I knew what conditions they were used and abused. You should be good to go.

ARP specifically told me once that all of their hardware is reusable.... that goes for any application.


Edit: I should also state that there are also gauges to check for stretch.... because all good things actually don't last forever.
"re-use" until they are bad, is more of the case.

I had always used my L19 over and over again with no problems. Just check to make sure there is no stretching going on with them also.

I had heard that the regular ARP's (not L19's) could be reused 2-3 times or so "safely". Don't know about the L19's.
