Bolts thread is a bit more than 1/3 of the bolt length.
I think it could be safe to reuse for 1-2 times but if you want to feel safer...



Yeah Greg said to measure them and see if they are still within spec to be re-used. I'm pretty sure it's like the 4th time they will be used, so I'm just going to opt for some new ones instead. Last thing I need now is to waste another headgasket or have a headbolt snap off!

Nissan lists a spec. for them to be re-used but I do NOT re-use them typically. Just as you stated something so cheap for peace of mind is worth it to me...
