Default Are headbolts interchangeable across the redblocks?

Hey guys i feel this is probably a dumb question but i'm looking at new headbolts to ideally replace the old ones on my b19E IDP has a set but they say b20 b23 etc etc but not the 19 are they still good to fit on a b19? I know that for the most part general sizing of these engines are the same part-wise.
On another note i know that you can reuse the head bolts given they dont show visible stretching and haven't exceeded a certain length, anyone know off by heart that measurement to save me skimming through the greenbook? i dont know how many times the head has been pulled off before i got my brick, so being thorough is in my best interest

Here's a site that suggests they are the same. You didn't mention the year of your B19 - but it seems IDP's guide shows one part for up to 1975 and another from 1975 onward...

Ah my bad. 1982. so the 1975 onward would be the case
And yeah that link seems to pretty convincing to me that i'm right about them being interchangeable. That's good to know, didnt want to end up ordering them to find out hey they're wrong
