60-something is probably not enough. Most folks use the angle method (which superseded the torque method) but I've only ever used the torque method. With one slight alteration: when I did wifey's 87 I took final torque to 75 ft-lbs. I did 15, then 33, then 66, then 75. I tapped the head to settle it and waited about 30 minutes between rounds. Actually, my 12-year-old son did the torquing. He turned out to be a helluva lot more anal than I would have been!
