How to reinstall modified custom kernel?

Hi all,

Last time, I emailed to linux-kernel and kernenewbies mailing-lists about
how to speed up kernel compilation. I received very useful peace of advice
about using "ccache". Now I want to modify and compile a unique custom
kernel several times.
I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to compile custom
kernel. This tutorial uses "kpkg" command to build kernel and it produces
two .deb files: "linux-image" and "linux-header" as result.
So for the first time I followed this tutorial.
For next times, according to to experts' advice, I use "make all" in custom
kernel root directory to rebuild kernel. I am not sure that it would be
enough to use *changed kernel* after rebooting. As I asked from some
experts, It is also required to install kernel again, but they were not
familiar with "kpkg" and "dpkg",... commands for kernel installation.
Should I use "dbkg" command after every time I rebuild kernel, for
re-installation?
If anybody is familiar with these method of kernel installation, please help
me. It is very urgent, because it is related to my B.S. thesis :P

Regards,
