What year is your car? Certain years had a problem where the head bolts where not exactly tight from the factory. Conventionally a retorque is not usually suggested because usually the gasket itself has been compromised, as your mechanic stated. But if it where never made a good seal in the first place then you might be alright. That is why it is suggested to retourque the head bolts. Essentially getting them tight for the first time. It is also suggested that the head bolts be changed.
