Default Do I need to re-do my manifold gaskets?

I just took off my fuel rails and in doing so had to take out the back two bolts of my intake manifold to take off that black metal guard on my ls2. It was bolted down with two manifold bolts. Am I going to have to re-gasket or take off the manifold and go back through the torque sequence? Newb question but I've never been into the top end of this engine.
thanks
Scott

Check torque once in a while afterwards. My intake is always loose.

They want blue Loc Tite on the bolts. You should make sure they get coated if your worried.

You shouldn't need loctite just for the fact those bolts are so small you run the risk of breaking one if you take intake off in the future
