Default fresh motor heads retorque?

hey guys i have a motor that was built and i was wondering if there is a need to go back and retorque the heads down after it gets a few miles on it??

i know its been said to do so on rocker arms, but was just curious about the heads from you guys who have done head swaps and the like

(motor was assembled by a shop and but i am just taking precautions)

no you shouldnt need to unless using aftermarket bolts then follow their instructions the stock bolts are only good to be torqued once after that theyre just paper weights.
