ahh didnt know you were done... was just going to suggest using a ratchet wrench because they can get in tight spots and would be the ideal tool for puting those bolts in until you have to torque them down.

I reused the stock bolts and am going to do the heat cycle method of making sure they are tightened.
What ft/lb should I torque them too?

11ftlbs first pass, 18ft lbs second pass, working your way outwards from the inside. I just finished my install to, everything went well, cept I was unable to torque down all the bolts on the pass side... I just can't get the torque wrench on the bolts. Try your best and use your hand meter.
