Answer
Glenn,

A Vanette with a 2.3 litre engine?  You are going to have to buy a book on this one since I have no reference material.  I scoured the Internet and found nothing on either.  But, memory does serve me that the head bolts should be replaced and they should come with the new head gasket.  Also, the torque recommendation should be on the box along with the number of steps to get the head to the proper torque and the sequence in which to torque them.
