Are 113 head bolts reusable?

Putting 113 heads on my LB9 and I was wondering if the stock bolts (from the 113s not my 081s) are reusable or if they have to be replaced like cast iron heads? thanks

Thats a new one.

None of the head bolts on a SBC are torque to yield so there is no reason to replace them unless they are damaged.

they can be re used aslong as theyre not damaged like mentioned before, but its recommended for them to be replaced after using them acouple times, i believe after the third torque-ing of bolts, they get fatigued and may fail.
