Can I re-use?

Can I re-use my original: rocker arms, bridges, cap screws push springs, valve springs, valve locks, intake/exhaust valves? Basically all the parts of the head. If not, what should I replace. Go with dealer? Hesco? Other?
The only abnormal wear was in the cylinders, had to be bored out.

If everything look kosher, I would reuse them. Just check the valve springs for straitness and the proper spring rate.

In general (not 4.0 specific) I clean things up and eyeball them pretty good. Check the relaxed spring height and square. One thing I always look at pretty good, is the valve guides and check for excessive side play.
