btw- german torque specs: goodntight
but no, really. the only torque you need to worry about really is the cage bolts. they are 15fp which is light hand tight with a small socket wrench. for 15fp i usually go about 4 inches out and push at about 70%... i might have trained myself but i can get it within a few pounds usually. torque wrenches help though, make it hard to overtighten.
btw the last valve job i did took 2 hours including stopping for half an hour to eat pizza and make fun of people on facebook.
another btw, you almost never need to replace that oil drain crush washer unless it was seriously overtightened before. if it still looks like a crush washer, chances are it will work just fine.
