Angry Head gasket Help!!

Ok I'm replacing the head gaskets on my 98 and I just learned that I can't use mls gaskets because I have 853s that have the notch! So my problem is I have already installed one head and torqued it to 22 ft lbs. I haven't started the torque angle yet. So my question is can I reuse those bolts since I haven't torqued them all the way down?

Should be fine. The torque angle is for bolt stretch

Im assuming the bolts had the orange lock tite on them when you put them in. Just dont forget to make sure there is still some on the bolts or add some. And make sure the bolt holes are still clean
