When Should I Retorque the Cylinder Head

For the longest time I was having a hard time wrapping my head around retorquing or worse, reusing wasted bolts.
Why would you do that?? Then it became clear retorquing a waisted bolt is a good thing whereas retorquing a wasted bolt is not.
You probably don't want to use a wasted bolt in a waisted application, but you could perhaps use a waisted bolt in a wasted application.
Or maybe not....Regardless, it is so much clearer now........
Carry on.......
