Methods of Torquing the head down

[AlwaysFishn']

So I have the Suzuki DF115 model I've followed the service manual before or thought I had in torquing the head onto the cylinder block not only doing the steps and sequencing I apparently had done something wrong----

However just wondering what some of you had done or is currently doing in steps of securing the head down with out having a leaking gasket or steps to doing the manual. My friend tells me I must re-torque after I have started it and ran it for a few after it has warmed up, but if I do that I'm going to have to change 2 gaskets to achieve that but then again I will if I have to.

Any thoughts
