I actually have a 3/4 drive ratchet and socket that I use and tighten untill engine starts to bar over then take a soft face dead blow and wack the ratchet a couple of times and good to go.

me to. I've always heard to torque it to spec but my wrench starts at 150 so i just always did it till it was really nice and tight. is it bad to have it torqued over spec?
