yeah u dont need to re tighten them,just check them,as u do 90 bends to tighten them, u cant really check the torque, but if u marked them when u done it in the first place,all ya gotta check is the marks are still pointing the same way

That's right as there isn't a specific torque setting for head bolts, just tighten them, mark the bolts, then 90deg, then another 90deg
