9 lb-ft of torque
I'm being a cheap-ass and don't want to buy a small accurate torque wrench.
Is 9 lb-ft torque handtight w/ a handheld socket? I have no reference. http://image.shopzilla.com/resize?sq=160&uid=918495623 I'm going to replace the oil pan gasket on my Integra. These are notorious for leaks caused by over-torquing. |
i'd say unless it affects calibration you'd be fine.

I wouldn't take a chance on it springing a leak again. Inconsistant torque, I'm betting, is as bad as over or under torquing. If it can move around as it heats, it could leak again.
Get a cheap inch pound torque wrench. It probably wont be the last time you use it. 9 ft. lbs. is 108 in. lbs. |

Or just buy an in-lb torque wrench. |
go to a parts store and loan one for a day.

Use a one foot socket wrench and a fish scale (spring type).
Or buy a friggin' torque wrench. |
