Default Reuse Head Bolts Issue

I am rebuilding the engine on my 1995 Honda Civic started slapping her back together and realized I forgot to order the head bolts. The original bolts appear to be standard bolts and I am wondering if I can reuse them.

The only reason I am considering reusing the head bolts is because I need the car soon, but I can barrow a family member's car if need be while I wait for the bolts to arrive, if they need to be ordered.

Thanks.

if there not damaged then no theres no reason not to use them. just make sure the threading on both the block and bolts are clean of any debris before you torque them down.
