Default OEM Head Bolts: Do I have to re-torque then?

It's a 89 HF CRX. Did the head gasket last night and all seems to be good so farr. Should I run a couple heat cycles and re-torque them??

when i put my ported head on i retorqued the bolts after i broke the new cam in. i didnt do it because you have to i just did it because i had to reset the lash anyways. but you might as well since it only takes a few minutes. better safe then sorry!

did you put oil on the threads or anti seize? i cant remember what your supposed to use but make sure you used the right stuff!

Yup yup, put oil on the threads of the head bolts before torquing them.
