Torque to yield bolts will stretch during final torquing upon install. Because they stretch is the main reason one should not re-use them. When I replaced my heads, I just went with replacement OEM head bolts from the dealership.

Yep, you can buy OEM bolts and be fine. They are one time use though, so make sure you've got the head gaskets on the right way and the heads on the right side before you crank them down. Otherwise you'll be out even more money.

Part number for the OEM bolts is 06510280AA for the big ones (20) and 06506334AA for the small ones (10)
