Hello:
By the manual you are not supposed to use the headbolts more than once. You have to stretch them a certain amount of degrees at the end of the tighting sequence.
So you should purchase new head bolts. However, I have seen some people use them a second time. It is not recommended, but certainly not more than twice.
The new bolts (27 of them) are $8.03 each (part number 838778).
Hope this helps.
J.D.
