Removing Exhuast Manifold, replace or reuse existing studs?

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of replacing my turbo, and have just about got all the exhaust manifold bolts out. The studs and bolts were in good shape and rust free, do they require replacing each time you take the manifold off or can I reuse them? I don't want to put it back together only to do it again because you have to replace them.

I do have a new gasket and oil lines, just didn't buy new bolts as part of the process.

thanks!

MJ

I've reused the studs and nuts multiple times with no issues.
