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?

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.

can CA18 headbolts be reused?
as im about to put my CA back together, finally, but have now heard that they arent reusable

as its only a DE bottom end and a stock nissan headgasket im not really keen on spending the $200 odd on ARP headstuds. and coz im over spending money on the shit heap of an engine

so what will be the worse thing that will happen if i put the old headbolts back in?
