Once the gasket is crushed it is done.......period. The way the head is torqued down is to squence an even pull-down to put tension into the bolts. Then, when you do the final "CRUSH" with the 90 degree rotation on the bolts, you destroy the gasket into a perfect tension fit. If you did "yield" these bolts I would be very surprised. Some dumb gravel monkey could find a way to yield them though.... But, what I would do is measure them and make sure they were all the same length, and check the threads off eack other to see that they have no stretch. If a bolt or several bolts are dramatically different in length, then they have stretched, and should be replaced.
