re-torque heads?

If NOT A PROBLEM FORGET IT.-:encouragement:
 
I'm with him. If you are nervous about it you can set your torque wrench for a bit less than the called out torque and if nothing moves you are good to go without possibly upsetting anything. I've never touched mine after a 4 cylinder rebuild and no issues. If something does move then the re-torque was probably needed.
 
Gonna let it go. Got the car back 3rd week of June. 4000 since then and only engine issue so far is a little oil mist blowing out the dipstick tube. The amount is diminishing as time goes on so I'm guessing it's the piston rings continuing to seat.
