12-14 foot pounds? You can probably "feel" your way to that number without a torque wrench if you have enough finess. When you add extensions, etc. etc. that number on the torque wrench is a little off to what's really being applied.
Edit: However the word "finess" is correctly spelled

spelling is to technical for me
heard a few people go as high as 15ft.lbs thats what im going to do next since at 13 i have had plugs still come loose. make sure your motor is DEAD COLD. the heat soffens the aluminum too much and will allow it to strech more.
I am going 15 ft lbs and fineeze or whatever its called...Thanx guys
