Hugh---I've never found it necessary to retorque head bolts after
replacing the gasket. I torque to the maximum specs at the initial
installation, and do check the four head bolts outside the valve cover
at a later date to see if these will take any more tightening. So far,
they have never needed it, so I do not disturb the ones under the rocker
shaft. Other owners may  find it more comforting to check them all.
