They are reusable providing they return to exactly the same length after you relaease them and havent stretched, you cant tell that unless you measured them before they went in.

Typically you torque them about to aobut 2 thou of stretch, so they should go back by 2 thou then when you release them.

Ive reused them myself before with no problems, both conrod bokts and head studs
