If they say you have to, they should take care of it for you. If they say no, then I wouldn't worry about it. I just know in my experience rebuilding a car, and having a head gasket done if you are gonna drive it hard you have to check to make sure the head bolts stay within spec on the torque settings. Best of luck to you.
