If there are no issues with the headgasket you'd do best to leave it alone. With these stiff bolts there is a possibility you could break one if you re-torque it after its been sitting. The NG900s, 9-3s etc are prone to loosening bolts but I think its due to softer bolts that stretch out and get lose. You could put a torque wrench on the headbolts and check them at maybe 60 or 70 ft-lbs. If they don't move then you're OK. But if you don't have any symptoms I'd leave it alone.
