Default Retorque Heads

Has anyone ever NOT had to retighten the Head Nuts or Bolts on a flathead after several heating/cooling cycles?
The reason I ask is I have 200 miles on a 1942 239. The trip lengths were from 5 miles to 35 miles. I have tried to retorque several times after cool down and the nuts seem to be at spec. The engine is new overhaul.
