Just signed on to the list.  Enjoying it so far!

I have a question concerning torqueing head bolts.  In my previous rebuilding older VW engines experience, I seem to remember having to re-torque the head bolts after so-many miles.  We recently had a factory rebuild engine put into our 87 GL Vanagon, and when I asked the mechanic whether the head bolts should be retorqued, he said that would not be necessary.  Should I be concerned?  We have put about 9000 miles on the new engine so far.  Thanks in advance for any discussion on this.
