You're not supposed to reuse factory style head bolts even if they are 1 day old. They stretch when you torque them, so when you try to use them again the torque and strength properties aren't the same. Head studs, like ARPs, are reusable.

For an LS-VTEC you use B18C ARP/AEBS/Golden Eagle head studs.

dude .
you don't know sh*t.
do some research before telling people wrong answers.
b18a/b, b18c1, b16b and b18c5 decks are a bit longer so they require longer head bolts

Make sure you also use a GSR/ITR 22-tooth water pump and a GSR/ITR timing belt.
