Are these nuts reuseable?
Here is a quote from the previous thread about the GM studs and nuts.

But they are actually special nuts, triangular in shape with some kind of threadlocker on them.

hate to pop alot of bubbles , lol
but ever had a factory stock bolt break ? if yes , then welcome to a factory stud breaking , granted it will happen fewer times , but GM doesnt use the best grade , they buy from the lowest bidding company
but you will have the studs back out more often when trying to take the nut off , and it really pisses me off when that happens
also i think the ecotec motor uses the same thread studs as the bolts the LS motors use
the ends on the GM studs is a inverted torx , so you can screw them in or out , also allows the nut to thread on easier
