    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?

    Other vehicle is a 03 2500HD CC/SB 6.6L DMAX straight piped and Edge stacked with Superchips and gauges, Loves to eat rice for sure! Fartcan exhaust makes it better!

    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.

    Yeah, it was in another one of the posts. I love it when the same topic is posted by the same person in multiple places.

    I guess this is just an insult place, not to much helpful, So I guess I will look elsewhere?

    I though I could learn something here, and I did............
