lol stretch bolts are called stretch bolts because well being silly they stretch lol
and shoulnt be used again the idea of using non stretch bolts on a turbo motor is so the cylinder head doesnt move or lift under boost or higher pressures which then the head gasket will move or blow
but the good thing with non stretch bolts is that you can use them again :)
