[QUOTE="mthompson223, post: 831365, member: 16755"] That's a negatron, sir. Since the days of asbestos gaskets are long gone, gasket creep has been a slight issue on non-asbestos composite gaskets. The issue mainly stems from vehicles that had head gaskets designed back when asbestos gaskets were used. Since asbestos was the devil, torque specs should've been revised but nobody ever bothered to do this. The torquing method you suggested was how I deal with gasket creep. I clamp it to 58 lb.ft. in 3 steps and take a break before I do the final torque. If you torque straight to 58 lb.ft. with a non-asbestos composite head gasket, you absolutely will notice a drop in head bolt torque if you come back and check later, even with Toyota OEM gaskets.
