The only thing worse than too loose is too tight. Better to go light and look for leaks. Also, the higher the torque wrench rating, the less accuracy at the low end of the scale. Borrow a wrench that does inch pounds and get the feel. I wouldn't use a wrench rated at 30 inch/lbs minimum.
I was taught that with my Carrera, if you over tighten you get leaks. If you think its too loose and keep going you warp the valve covers.
