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?

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.
