There is a major difference in sealing and bolting technology on engines designed 50 years ago and today. Today's designs make use of elastomer sealing rings aroung oil and water passages that are not on old engines, in addition the bolting on todays engines are typically tighten to yield this makes the bolted joint much less susceptable to gasket relaxation. All that being said it is your engine and you can do what you want, but on my rebuilds I always go back and retorque and reset the valve clearance.
