No, I don't think it is semi worthless, I think it is less than that. ;o)
Since replacing of head bolts and retorque doesn't do much difference on the earlier engine of that particular oil leak, I doubt it will do anything on the later ones.
The big reason why I change head bolts and do retorque on the earlier ones is that since we know they are not torqued to spec, installing new bolts will save or extend the life of the cylinder head gasket as a whole.
We start to see now cars coming in with blown head gaskets on those earlier engines if they have not been dealt with earlier.
