If you have completed the final 90 degree of the bolt in the same sequence, then the answer is no. Once the final "torque", or 90 degree rotation of the head bolts ( an undefined amount we measured it at 128 ft pounds ) is completed, it would not do anything to "retorque" the head. After the 90 degree rotation of the head bolts have been completed, the gasket is fully and finally "crushed" to complete the last part of the procedure. A warm up of the engine in between the torque procedure could help stress relieve the installed head assembly, and perhaps normalize some of the forces prior to the final "crush".
