I did a search but didn't really find a good answer. I used the DE main stud kit on my E motor. They were torqued down properly and I used the ARP lube with them.

Question is, Can I re-use these main studs on my DE build? Do they stretch at all?

My turbo240 rods also use ARP rod bolts... will it be fine to re-use them as well?

As far as I know, you can reuse the ARP hardware. I think someone here used a set like 3 times because their head was warped/messed up the gasket or something. So I don't see why the mains would be any different. Just make sure you check for thread stretch when you take them out. I'm not exactly sure how you do that, but I think there's a tool or something? Someone else can chime in on that one.
