No, you have to buy new head bolts and head gaskets. I would spend the extra 50.00 and get the ARP head bolts so all you have to do is torque them in 3 steps (25ftlbs, 50ftlbs, 75ftlbs) vs fighting to torque the stock bolts to 22ftlbs then turn 90* and another 70* after that.

definitely worth the money. I picked up 40+ hp and tq putting heads on my lq4. and YES you need to get it retuned to get the most out of it.
