Default head bolts

Recognizing stock head bolts are "torque to yield" and non-reusable, are ARP or other aftermarket bolts able to be torques down several times?

I believe this is true but should double check with ARP.

ARP's are resusable.

I've reused mine many, many times with no issues. They are indeed reusable

Yes RJ, too many times. How is the middle east doing? You blow anything up for me?

Its been quiet. US deaths were down drastically over the holiday. I was very proud of that. I haven't fired a shot in anger yet, hoping to keep it that way

Thanks - ARP it is.

Also, deployed to the AOR? Sucks around this time of year, doesn't it?
Being retired from USAF for three years now, oddly enough, my Christmas deployments were some of the most memorable.

Lastly, realizing the value of small tokens, let me know if I can raise some cheer and drop something into the APO for 'ya. I live right outside MacDill AFB (Tampa) and can get whatever you need at Clothing Sales.

Stay safe -
