So is there a reason why you're R&Ring the head without consulting the service manual? Do you even know the bolt tightening pattern or the torque sequence? If you're winging it, you'll be back sooner rather than later, probably with a warped or cracked head. Everything you could ever need or want to know about the bolt reuse and acceptable stretch limit is part of the head R&R writeup in the FSM.
