It is reccommended and highly advised but I managed to do mine without changing the bolts, 10k+ miles later, it's still running strong

Agreed root,I'm not doing to do them as it was only serviced 7k ago with all that so dont see the need.Only reason i'm doing it is due to me not knowing the car so want to be on the safe side

But if you are taking the head off you might aswell do headbolts and get the headskimmed as it is a big job as opposed to a service that takes a couple of hours.

Why are you doing the head gasket? If you bought desent gaskets, bolts, and skimmed the head you would need to do it again
