I've done both on previous engine repairs (used new and reused) and have never had issues. A new set of head bolts seems a bit steep at $55 for a set. I did a search and a lot of guys say they have reused them. I'm also not replacing a lot of the gaskets either. I've never had issues reusing an exhaust manifold gasket. If the intake or coolant passage leaks, I'll put some rtv on it. I know its cheap, but I've also done it before and it works fine.

Here is my parts list:
head gasket
timing belt, idler & water pump
spark plugs (iridium)
valve cover gasket
control arm bushings
camshaft seal
front motor mount
accessory belt (2)
oil filter
ball joints
cabin air filter
intake air filter

The total for all that was $216 shipped.
OK thanks.


I ended up getting:
12251-PLC-004 GASKET, CYLINDER HEAD (NIPPON LEAKLESS)
90005-PM3-003 BOLT-WASHER (10X140)
17055-PLD-004 GASKET, FR. INJECTOR BASE (NIPPON LEAKLESS)
18115-PLC-J01 GASKET, EX. MANIFOLD (ISHINO GASKET)
15825-P2M-005 FILTER ASSY., SPOOL VALVE

Since many items out of the kit wouldn't be used (I just did the timing belt last year and replaced valve cover gaskets, so I think they are still fine).

I'm not comfortable reusing the head bolts, so I got those too. Even OEM parts from Honda, it's only $128 shipped. Dealer quoted me ~$1400 for the job... yeah... no sale.
