Valve cover torque

[sdgdf]

I'm doing the valve cover on my 1.4t and it calls for 71 inch lbs. The little inch lbs torque wrench I got only goes down to 120 inch lbs. What should I do? The RTV is drying as I speak and no places to get tools are open.

Also, the write-ups and videos I saw for doing this show applying RTV where the timing cover connects to the head. I've had my valve cover replaced 2x before under warranty and there was no old RTV at these spots? The write-up I'm using from Cruzetalk shows removing "remaining sealer" but to me it looks like part of the gasket for the timing cover.

This part goes out on the Sonic so often, how does no one have a response to this thread?

I went to Harbor Freight and found the right torque wrench. Though I don't trust it. Apparently my tightening was only 30-40 in lbs and it feels a lot tighter than how the bolts were when I took them off. And its a lot tighter than the "snug" and "hand tight plus 3-4 turns" some people have recommended. I used the torque wrench @ 50 in lbs and don't want to go any further. Should I just leave it at that and try starting it tomorrow and look for leaks?
