What is the best way to torque the gasket on a 1987 300E? My manual says 6 to 8 lbs but I do not have a wrench sensitive enough to torque at that low range. Can I get a 1/4 inch drive torque rachet at sears and do the job? I already split two gaskets. Or is there a trick to it? Is a more sensitive rachet measured in inches rather than foot lbs.? If so what is the conversion?

Smiles.
