Shouldn't have to....the pin can only move to extend if the chain is moved or the tensioner casing/ring have been moved.
The cap/spring are just to supply pressure/force on the pin to extend as the chain wears/stretches.
...the problems guys have [ and they are big $$$$ mistakes] is when the chain/cam are changed and the pin is not reset to accomodate the new chain dimensions..........................
I have seen guys break brand new camshafts right in half !!!
You may want to go the extra step of pulling the pin just to see if it is worn and to see how far it has extended, as that is indication of chain wear/stretch condition
