I was just wandering if its really important to torque it at the right spec. If so, what torque wrench would you recommend?

use the torque on anything important.
a lot of times, if you just do it by hand, you'll make the mistake of putting it on too tight, and then just end up striping your threads. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
