Diesel Head Bolt torque sequence 700

Hi all:

I missed one head bolt in the 4th torqueing sequence. This step consists of angle torqueing 180 degrees. It was #6 (close to the middle). Something was bugging me, so I rechecked. I tightened it, but out of sequence. I just spent $400.00 to get the head rebuilt. Do you think I should take it apart and redo it with a new head gasket. Or leave it alone. There is one more sequence of angle torqueing to 90 degrees after hot.

I've tightened heads bolts out of sequence on gasses before. Because I didn't have a diagram, with no ill effects. But this is way out of sequence and a Diesel.

What do you guys think?

Thanks
