Not at all, really don't see this as a big need. And if done wrong could lead to pressure issues elsewhere.

Per the Subaru manual, the Cylinder Head bolts are reuseable. The connecting rod bolts however, are not...those have been ordered.
As I continue to wait on the rod bearings...I think I've now done all I can do until they arrive (expected on Wed Jan 31st). Today I finsished cleaning everything. Including the oil pump. Got all the old debris out of the engine. Then reinstalled all the sensors and front seal on the front timing cover. Installed the lower oil pan to the upper oil pan, Installed the thermostat houseing and thermostat with a new gasket. Realized that I need a new water pump gasket...so that will be picked up shortly. It should be a quick reassembly once the rod bearings arrive...
