ive reused arps before with no issues. i feel way more comfortable reusing the h-11s though. torquing a 14mm stud to 245lbs once is scary for me, let alone doing it twice. but ive done it and not had a problem.
That was the issue I believe. The last people to work on it didn't check the heads. They think they might be cracked around the valve seals or injector cups.
You could use H-11 studs and not ever have a stretch problem!
