Default quick head gasket question

A while back I put dual valve springs in my gsr and now I am planning on putting the motor back to completely stock so when I pull the head to put the factory springs back in I plan to put replace the thin head gasket with an oem one. Will it be a good idea to buy new oem head bolts or will reusing them be fine?

I presonally would invest in a set of ARP's considering the head will be off, but the OEM ones will work just fine.

I plan to put the motor back to stock because I want to sell the parts to go towards my other project and the honda is my daily. So yes, I will need new head bolts?

I would just reuse the ones you have UNLESS they have been taken off and torqued down a bunch of times. If they torque down they will be sufficient enough. No point for ARP studs unless its a High comp or boosted setup.

The head bolts that are in there now are the original ones and have been taken off and retorqued one time. This would be the second time if i reuse them. So I will just use them and save the $100. Thanks for all the replies
