I 'm in the process of installing rocker shaft seals on my 72 911T.

I'm wondering if I can estimate the 18 lbs of torque required on the 5mm rocker shaft hex nuts. I'm using a stubby 5mm snap on hex socket on a 1/4 drive which fits really well. The 3/8 torque wrench I have has no chance of fitting.

I don't own (and would like to avoid owning right now) a 1/4 torque wrench. I've also noticed that most of the 1/4 torque wrenches only go to 200 inch pounds which is 16.6 foot pounds.

So I guess the real question is...

Is it possible to overtighten the rocker shafts with a 1/4 socket?

Thanks,
Ian
