So is the consensus that you do in fact need to retorque the bolts/nuts with Cometics? I understood that you didn't have to, but my gaskets came with no instructions.

I let the motor sit over night and then retorqued all the bolts. 2,500 miles and no leaks on .041 cometics.

From what I have been told, You don't "need" to, but it is just a little more insurance if you do.
