Default New head gasket - break in period?

If I change a head gasket, should I break it in?

no, either it seals or it doesnt.

However, have you considered AEBS or ARP head studs to replace the factory head bolts?

Factory bolts after lots of untorquing and torquing can stretch

if you go with a stud, you dont have to worry about them stretching
