When it goes back on, can I reuse the head bolts, or are they 'torque-to-yield' or whatever mitsu calls their one time use bolts? thanks

I was hoping I could get it together this weekend rather than waiting for parts. It has been suggested by others that these bolts are reusable, hence the question. thanks again.
