Seems more typical for the older cars that used aluminum bolts.
Lol. Older cars. The bolts are designed and intended to be torqued once and replaced after removed. They are an essential part of the oiling routes as well.
Save a few bucks and take your chances ? As with all things - You get what you pay for. Assurance.
Also - do NOT use a driver larger than 1/4" to torque them down. Any larger ratchets and you're almost sure of a snapped head.
Just my experience and two cents throwing in here. Left hand drill bit set on hand too !!!

And flood the entire area under hood and especially at rear of head with lots of light ! It helps.
