Just came from the dealer, $250 for head bolts? Plus they don't stock them (no wonder)

I'd like to see if mine are still within specs and can be re-used. I hate to order one and wait, I was hoping to start putting this back together tonight. anyone know where/ what the specs are? FAQ?

    minimum head height after machining is 145.6mm ....5.732in

    head bolts are good up to 4-5 times unless damaged
    look for strain in the middle or neck down section
    measure them all and compare

    tightening torque in stages for bolt to block are

    1. 15 ft/lb in correct order
    2. 44 ft/lb in correct order
    3. additional 90 degrees in correct order
