No. Torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts are designed to stretch into their plastic deformation range during installation, which is what gives them their clamping load. Once stretched, they cannot reliably reach the same clamp load again and are prone to snapping or losing torque, which leads to head gasket failure. Replace them one-time-use, every time the head comes off. Same rule applies to most TTY rod bolts, main bolts, and many crank/flywheel bolts. If you want, give me the year, make, model, and engine and I will confirm whether that specific application calls for TTY head bolts and the correct torque sequence and angle spec.
