Reuse the 22re head bolts.

Might not hurt to clean the threads though.

Don't reuse.
Want to reuse - buy ARPs.

In theory, they can be reused, but they are cheap to replace if you want to be sure.

You may also want to clean the threaded holes in the block with a tap before re-assembling the engine.

I rebuilt mine with new headbolts, a friend of mine reused his. As of yet no problems for either of us but for $26 I sleep at night. The dealer wanted $8 each, I got all of them from LC for around $26.
