You don't have to but you should... you may even want to. Have the piston to cylinder clearance checked to avoid piston failure. Be sure and check your ring end gaps as well and use an oem or cometic base gasket.
Do it right or dont do it bro have it checked out but otherwise if its in spec a quick deglazing and youre set.
Make sure the piston and bore is within limits.
You need to hone the bore so that the new rings will bed in and stop blow by.
Do the proper heat cycles , let it idle to operating temp then shut it off and let it cool down for at least 30 mins.
Do this 3 - 5 times, re tension the head and then ride at no more tham 3/4 throttle for two tanks of fuel.
Others use a different break in technique, but this one is the most preffered.
