As tight as I can torque them down while lying under the engine with a 3/8" ratchet and 14mm socket. Seriously, you're torquing a good sized bolt into a steel housing and lying on your back with a typical 3/8" ratchet doesn't give you much leverage.&nbsp I ain't about to lug the 3'+ torque wrench under there and wait for the click!

yah, you'd have to be a lunatic to try and get a torque wrench on those bolts. Its hard enough with a 3/8 wobbly 14 and 2 3/8 extensions daisy chained to a rachet.
