I have to replace the head gasket on one of my engines.
Question is do i have to replace the head bolts (i presume so)
I mean fit new ones.

Mine is the tamd41p so assume same as yours. The bolts are tightened to a "torque to yeald" process, ensure you read the manual, so there is some permanent stretch of the bolts each time they are tightened. Should be good for 2 tightenings so you need to be confident they have not been removed once already.
