Yes you can reuse the stock bolts, just make sure the threads are still good.

you can reuse the stock bolts. They may loosen after a while that's why I bought stage 8 locking header bolts. You just might have to retighten every once in a while. I would say use the stockers and if leaks are a problem use aftermarket locking bolts later.

I ran the stockers on my Macs for at least 4 years. They never loosened and yes I checked. I'm running them with my LT's now too.

Use the stockers, buying the locking header bolts are a waste of money IMO.
