Default re using headbolts?

Would it be safe to re use my stock headbolts on my b16a this car (isnt going to be used on boost). Or would be safer to go and buy a set of aftermarket ones?

i think headstuds are better and stronger but are not necessary on nearly stock motors. u can re-use them a couple times and be fine. its always a good idea to measure them for bolt stretch

ARP's are made to be reusable. I wouldn't reuse old ones more than once.
