Are the bolts on the subaru engine stretch bolts and therefore should only be used once?....... never been a subaru mechanic but in my old life head bolts were a use once and throw away item.

Nope - they can be re-used - use a little Moly grease on the threads,
under the head of the bolt and washer.
