Default reuse stock head bolts?

I had to pull one of my heads to fix a lifter. I was wondering if the bolts are reuseable or do i need new ones? Thanks

They are not reusable. You need a new set. Might as well buy a nice set of ARP's which are reusable.

Remember that if you get new GM bolts they are Torque to Yield bolts.

ByUnspeed has a very nice GM head install kit that includes the head gaskets, new head bolts, exhaust manifold gaskets, and intake o-ring gaskets for $125.
