getting ready to do the headgasket... S90-V90 1998

So, I've been getting ready to do the headgasket on my dad's 1998 S90, and have a few questions. I've read the 7XX/9XX FAQ on this, but am still wondering a few things. First, Why do I HAVE to get new head bolts? On my trusty B230F, I can reuse them a few times. Also, for this cam pusher tool, I'm thinking I'll just fabricate something, as I've done for my B230F engine valve springs. Something can always be fabricated for far less than the dealer prices. Is this a brutally terrible project? I've done an awful lot of car repair, but am wondering what other advice any of you folks would have. thanks a lot,

Nate Gundy
