You can retorque them as many times as you want also. But when you re-use them you will probably want to torque them a bit higher then last time since standard ARP's are torque-to-yeild bolts.

TTY should not be reused even when torquing higher i.e. stretching further. I thought ARP's were not TTY which was one of their major advantages over OEM replacements?

Let me find a link for you real quick. They are TTY and the stock 1g bolts are actually stronger than standard ARP's too.
