Re-torquing would be needed if the gasket you are using has "creep". I.E.
Might be "Spongy" due to gasses within the fibers. So, as motor heats up the
internal pockets of gas will expand and might escape. This De-gassing effect
will loose a small amount of its original volume. So, when cool the gasket
would have shrunk somewhat. Hence, the axial clamping load has changed and
original "torque" is effected.
A solid gasket without these pockets would not suffer this way.

I do, and will get a little movement out of 3 to 5 each time.
