Stupid Question about Head Gaskets

What if its not too late? My engine runs great and it doesn't leak oil. I never have to top off fluids. My last car, a Mazda, leaked coolant and oil all over the place. But this engine seems really tight. I've gotten it up to 140 mph on our limited straigt aways here in New Jersey, and she still purrs like a kitten when I pull out of the drive way every morning to go to work. I do regular oil changes and just started using Syntech, had a tuneup done, and generally just keep an eye on things like oil pressure guage and so on. I was always told, if it aint broke don't fix it. So can I torque down those bolts or what?
