No, you do not have to buy new head bolts, however they do recommend it.  I 
did not buy new head bolts when I re did my head.  That was four and a half 
years ago and I have had no problems with the reused bolts.  Just make sure 
you follow the Bentley exactly because it shows exactly how to tighten them 
down.
