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.
