I like to do that but it's just a matter of preference.

Depends what gaskets you use too. If you're using mls gaskets, chuck the fsm specs out the window. They'll come with their own specs and procedure.
Usually torqueing them so far, waiting 20 minutes, torque a little more, wait another 20 minutes, then the final torque spec.
