Its never detrimental to have an in/lb torque wrench. Either way, the bolts are not that tight at all.

Ya mon, I did a search and found the torque to be 84 in/lbs. I thought that was a bit much, even in in/lbs. I just replaced my OP gasket and actually stopped at 60 in/lbs. noticing the edges of the gasket were starting to bulge out. Just like most I retighten by feel, but I wanted to get'er on properly the first time.
