My understanding of the "best practice" from the V8 world, which I would guess applies to the inline 6 world:
You use the fasteners that will be used in the final assembly of the engine. If you have purchased studs for the engine, use those studs when final honing with the torque plate. If you have purchased new head bolts for the engine, use those bolts when final honing. You also need to use the same head gasket you will be using in the final assembly. Yes, this means you need to buy two head gaskets, saving the unused one for the final assembly.
If I am incorrect, someone please step in and correct me.
