All cylinders filling with water

Is there a reason you are waiting to torque the heads? I always finish them up right then making sure to do the proper sequence.
What gaskets are you using?
Im with you on the all in one session thing.I also make sure the heads spend the night in the trunk of the car the night before i install them along with the torque wrench ,so that everything is all the same ambiant temp (all hardware ,bolts ,washers ,gaskets ,etc).I also make sure that i tighten the bolts in one smooth motion .I have seen many rachet little by little till they get the "click".I avoid it...
