Don't retorque, replace the bolts with the correct one!

For what it costs...you want to get the proper headbolts (look at the attached link for a picture). If you retorque the old bolts, they could always snap, and that would be horrendous. Only do it on a cold engine, and make sure to have a very accurate torque wrench. You....won't be able to tell if your head is warped just by looking at it. It's really so very little, you need to have a machine shop measure it. But, always start with what's cheapest, which is to get new bolts and do it once and do it right.
