If you have have the head off, replace the gaskets and do not re-use the head bolts. They are most likely torque-to-yield and will have stretched the first time installed and torqued to spec. Buy new ones and save yourself the pain of a blown HG when the bolts fail to properly keep the head mated to the block and lift under heavily acceleration (or boost if you have a turbo).
