Does anyone know if I can safely re-use adjustable rocker arm nuts (Comp Cams crimp style)?

I was unhappy with how an XE262 cam performed in my low compression 400. I bought a custom grind from Oregon Cams and would like to re-use the adjustable nuts that came with my Comp Cams 1.52 roller tip rocker arms.

By crimp style are you meaning a self locking type nut like the sb chevy used to run? If so you should be ok reusing them as long as the resistance to turning them is about the same as when you first installed them.
