I am in the process of freshening and detailing my 2.0 engine. While I have the engine sheet metal off, is it a good idea to retorque the heads? Are there any pros or cons to doing this?

Engine is out of the car? I would think there is no harm in retorquing, I guess, theoretically, if the engine hasn't been run, that the torque should be the same as when done before. I would expect the torque to perhaps be different after the motor has gone through some heat cycles but it would be a real pain to retorque the heads then with the motor in since the upper head nuts would be hidden by the engine sheet metal.
