Ben,

Thanks for the reply.

Quick question: It seems to me that 85-115ft-lb is a wide range. Since I have a torque wrench, what should I set it to? I know that tightest is not alway the best.

Thank you.

I'd go right in the middle 100ft. lb. That way you have the most cushion on both sides in case the wrench isn't perfectly accurate or anything small errors like that.
