Get new bolts and put them in. Everything I've ever seen/done/read says that it's ok to change them and keep the gaskets you already have in there. Long as you don't heat cycle them by starting the engine you can change those bolts, retorque the heads again and continue with your rebuild.

 

+1 for Chris!!

I droped an EGR bolt down #6 cyl. through the spark plug hole.... i kept telling myself to put the dam plugs in... but no. I can not even begin to explain how angry i am at everything... now im on the search for a magnet. and i feel pretty soon.. some fuses for my brain, as i am now on overload dot dot dot dot dot.

 

How's it goin now?
