Can you reuse head bolts Chevy 350 which have been blackend like rust?
You can try to clean the head bolts using either a wire brush and solvent, a bead blaster or soda blaster. After the bolts are cleaned thread them into the block to make sure they turn freely. If there is any indication that the threads are damaged do not use the head bolts. Do not use a sandblaster to clean the head bolts since that will cause erosion of the threads, making the head bolt unusable.

Are small block Chevy head bolts torqued wet or dry?
The question itself indicates you need to do a bit of reading on the hot-rod type websites. 1st, chase the threads in the block with a thread chaser (not a tap), next be sure the head bolt threads are clean, then dip the bolt into clean motor oil, let it drip off then torque to your heart's content. remember to follow the head bolt tightening sequence (generally middle of head and then outward toward each end. run the engine to operating temperature, shut it off and re-torque the bolts. This answer assumes (factory, iron heads, no aluminum heads. Bolts for aluminum heads MUST have steel washers between the bolt and the head. Good luck. Do it right or you will be replacing a head gasket (AGAIN). I like to put Indian Head shellac compound on the head bolt threads to be sure water doesn't travel up the threads. The sealant IS NECESSARY ON A CHEVY, because the head bolts penetrate the waterjacket. Told you, that you were a rookie then left out vital information myself because I was thinking of torque readings ONLY. YOU HAVE TO PUT SEALANT ON THE THREADS. Sorry for the goof.
