Did you use the ARP lube and a stretch gauge? Or did you use a torque wrench, either way you can reuse the bolts as long as you didn't over stretch them or over torque them. I have reuse head gaskets, depending on the type and brand, several times on many motors after running the motor on a engine dyno as well as racing them at the track. I have seen professional drag race teams do the same thing The gasket companys and many professional shops won't reuse head gaskest on customer cars, they may reuse them on there own motors Micheal, look closely at the head gaskets, if there fel Pro composition gaskets like the Perma Torque ones, and not torn, bent or damamged in any other way you can reuse them, if there steel shim gaskets like the ones Ma Mopar used from the factory back in the day the same rules apply. If you don't think it is safe for you to reuse them go buy another set

you mentioned eddy heads ,if your trying to do it withe heads on ,forget it, the plug angle USUALLY wont allow it.
Why? Interference with the valves? - and if so, why can't he just disconnect the valve train on # 1 cyl?
the tool goes in the plug hole at too horizontal of an angle.

Yep...I did it and just bent the piston stop (the style that goes in the spark plug hole). It did work once it bent though....lol.
