I torque everything right down to the wingnut on the aircleaner.
How about the 3 roller lifter retainer (spider) bolts? 1/4'' ratchet should be fine. Like I told the lad, rods, mains, head bolts. The rest is common sense torque. We're not building a Saturn 5 here.
yep, on a scale between 'slightly snug' and '4 ft pipe over the wrench handle'. two white knuckles is sufficient for most nuts and bolts.

Tighten it down till it breaks and back it off 2 turns!
A friend would throw together small block Chevy stock car engines (bomber class) with a 3/8 cordless and 1/2" air impacts along with a couple hand wrenches for the hard to get at bolts.
I have to torque everything....don't know my own strength and usually break all the bolts. Especially left hand lug nuts!
I need a cookie break.

I do, pretty much everything including pan gaskets and such. Mostly a hold over from working on Harleys and dealing with 1/4 inch fasteners and aluminum cases where 9lbs is good and tight and 13lbs is needing an insert. No clicker wrenches.
