Before applying the new set of bolts, check the thread pitch with the appropriate thread gauge and select the tap to re-thread all holes, taking care not to let any debris fall into the cylinders. Once this operation is complete, apply sealing paste to the tip of the threads and under the heads of the bolts; once the new gasket and cylinder head are in position, tighten the bolts using a torque wrench first and then a degree wrench, following a cross pattern to ensure perfect and uniform adherence of the gasket to the block.
