Head Bolts, Reusable?

Are the head bolts in a 2006 Chevy 5.3L engine reusable?

I heard they are a on time use item.

Also are there anymore one time use fasteners in the engine? Like Rod Bolts?

no they are not. they are torque to yield as is the crank pulley bolt.

That is what I heard, I just wanted to hear it twice!

Thanks.

I've never heard of reusing the head gaskets. That is something I would never do. I've heard of reusing a copper gasket but never an MLS head gasket.
