Some 1,000 miles on, I would say No, it's not necessary, but whether its advisable I'm not going to comment! 
How's the "non-smoking" going?

Re: Retighten Head Bolts?
Yeah the bolts are torqued and once the head gaskets settled seems no point in disturbing it again... Still smoking slightly but havent had a chance to do more that a couple kays as all the legal items are still off and bending up a new exhaust system next week.. Im hopefull tho after all that work, very hopefull!
