The bolts go to 18ft/lbs.
You should be able to remove the rubber gaskets, wipe all associated surfaces clean, and reuse the same gaskets.
If you feel you must have replacement gaskets, do yourself a favor and get genuine Cummins gaskets (grey in color). Others (black in color) do not last anywhere near as long.
There are rubber O-rings located under the bolt heads as well. They are purchased separate from the main gaskets.
Hope this helps.
