Re: reusing CA head bolts???

Many modern engines use stretch-type head bolts which cannot be re-used.
However I always heard CA head bolts weren't that type. Being designed in the late 70s/early 1980s I wouldn't expect them to be stretch type. Does anyone know for sure?

so what will be the worse thing that will happen if i put the old headbolts back in? They'll rust out 150 years from now.  I don't believe you should have any concerns using the same headbolts but if there is something that I don't know, maybe others can explain.
