When changing out the VVT solenoids is it a must to run it on a timing machine after replacing them?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com. I just reviewed Alldata's removal and replacement of the valve actuator solenoids and I see nothing indicating checking. Here are the removal and replacement directions from the manual. Read through them to make sure you did everything correctly. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.

Removal Procedure
Remove the intake manifold cover.
Disconnect the intake (1) or exhaust (2) camshaft position actuator solenoid valve electrical connector, as required.
Remove the exhaust (1) camshaft position actuator solenoid valve bolt and valve, as required.
Remove the intake (2) camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoid valve bolt and valve, as required.
Inspect the solenoid valve O-ring seals from damage, replace as necessary.
Installation Procedure
Lubricate the solenoid valve O-ring seals with clean engine oil.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.
Install the intake (2) CMP actuator solenoid valve and bolt, as required.
Tighten the bolt to 10 N.M (89 lb in).

Tighten the bolt to 10 N.M (89 lb in).
