AFR suggests you don't even put a torque wrench on them. Just hand tight.
You certainly need to go back and retighten a few times.

My hand tight is usually way too tight, I'd stick with a tq wrench, be sure it works at those low tq specs or do 216 inch lb if you have an inch lb wrench.Interested in being a VIP member and donating to the site? Click here http://dfwmustangs.net/forums/payments.php
