If you change the head bolts that's the safest bet for trouble free operation. But, I've changed head bolts on Hondas for years and they never stretched. I know this is for a Kia. My best guess is that it's not necessary since the Chilton based manuals don't say to do this.

If the head is torqued down to specifications and it leaks, then I would say, otherwise. Even torque is more important than bolt stretch, especially if the bolts don't stretch so much that the head gasket can't be tight against the head and block.

On the 80 inch evolution engine, the heads torque in three steps and in a certain pattern. There are four studs with special "nuts" on them and the torque in a circular pattern in a certain numerical order.

They also torque in three steps. The first step is torqed to 84-108 inch pounds. The second step brings the torque up to 12-14 foot pounds. Then you mark each "nut" and tighten them 1/4 turn more.

I would imagine that the twin cam is about the same way but I would look a little on the internet to see what I could find. Go here for your information.
