Yes as long as they aren't stretch bolts and yes but mark up mains caps and put them back where they were

I am replacing head gaskets and wanted to know if I can reuse the bolts or if I should buy new bolts or studs.

Also, going to replace rear main seal while I've got the engine out. Can I reuse the main bearing cap bolts or should i buy new bolts or studs for this as well?
