re-tensioning after timing belt replacement.....? 700 1990

Recently, as I wrote here, my timing belt went out taking 11 valves, and about everything else above the block, with it. I have had it all rebuilt, replaced, etc., but I was not told to return to have the belt re-tensioned or bolts re-tightened.

Now, the only reason I am asking this is because two friends with Volvos told me this should be done. However, does it make a difference that my 90 16V engine has automatic tensioners? Should I contact the Volvo repair place and ask for an appointment to do this? Would anyone know how many miles one can drive before this second procedure would need to be done?

Last, should this be considered part of the original job and performed free (fat chance)?

Thanks!
Dean
