Yes and no. Yes you are. I on use the torque wrench on any kind of sealing or gasket. Other than that I've just gotten a feel for what the torque ranges are. One thing people don't mention is that a lubed bolt head will make for 40% or so more torque. And since most people use PB blaster or WD40 on stuff they are probably over torquing.
