After rebuilding my 3A motor with 89mm liners I started the motor and ran  it 
for about 30 minutes at 2500 RPM.  This was not a drive as the car was  not 
assembled.  I had some time on my hands so I pulled the valve assembly  and 
retorqued the head.  I was surprised that 3 or 4 of the nuts took a few  
pounds.  
Given that experience I guess I would recommend that route and  then after 
the recommended driving interval.  If I recall correctly, it was  105 ft lbs. 
but I could go look it up.
