ive heard not to reuse the stockers because the threads stretch. also arp have a higher tensile strength. it is suggested to torque to arp specifications when using their hardware, which is like 80ish (dont have my sheet in front of me). also you may want to have the head torqued to 70ish

side note: did you read of the cause of the hg problems? also how did you prep the motor when you did your mhg?
