I used to sell auto parts for many years ,we sold Fel-pro gaskets and they would tell you which vehicles needed to retorque the head bolts,toyotas was not one of them.

retorque
I rebuilt my head about 8 months ago and haven't retorqued. nop leaks and chiltons doesn't list a need to do it. If it did blow just gives me a reason to take it apart again and add more parts!
