Mmmm, not good enough. You may have to remove the intake manifold so you can get a clear shot at each delivery valve with no universal joint. Painful I know, but if you want to make sure you get a good result, you've got to do the job right.
I did pretty much exactly what you did but only with one delivery valve on my OM603. I could not get the torque wrench to fit under the intake manifold, and I didn't have the time to R&R the manifold, so I did my best. I've got a bad knock like your engine at idle, it goes away completely once the RPM climbs over 1000.
