one more time - Head bolts question

9-5, 2.3 LPT, early 2001 model, (July 2000 mfg date) 110,000 miles No leaks but doing a sludge check and installing a Mk 6 PCV system. No sludge was found, clean as whistle. Some time, long time ago I heard thast there was a SSB for a headbolt changeout on early 2.3 engines. Is that true? My dealer says no SSB on head bolts either retorque or replacement.
With the engine open it is a good time to replace or retorque the head bolts if needed. SAAB replaced the head gasket in 2003 at 42,000 miles because of a water leak that could not be stopped by retorquing earlier. It stopped the leak and none have reappeared but I know the head bolts have not been checked since. Occasionlly retorqueing can start a leak. Any opinions?
