It's not recomended as the stock bolts are torque/yield but You can do it ..
I would slightly over torque them when you do it and just double check them periodically if you can't afford new ones . If you can afford it , just pick up some ARP's !

ok still cheap..... 1.78 each.... for D16Y8 head bolts...
#18 is the head bolt. Web site says the D16Y8 ones and the D16y7 use the same head bolts.. The dual cam head bolts for say a 00 si are 6.36 each..... still cheaper then Arp... not better but cheaper.
