Yes you do quench in water after heating to cherry red
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

   You can quench if you prefer but its not a requirement.
Start with the end in mind...
