According to my Haynes manual refitting the cylinder head is a 3 stage process. 1) torque to 15Nm ( in the right sequence of course ) 2) torque to 30Nm 3) angle tighten through 90 deg. You will need new bolts.

Not 100% true,

Bolts can be used twice then you new ones, the question is have they been out before
