A lot of books on rebuilding engines recommend replacing the cylinder head studs every time or every other time you torque them.

I'm guessing that IH used at least grade 5 hardware for the studs. The standard dry torque for a half inch fine thread grade 5 bolt is 85 ft.lb. The head is only torqued 70 ft.lb., so I felt safe re-using them.
