Agree, but make bloody sure you read the specs for each bolt. Most of the time the torque specs are for dry threads, you put copper grease on (or similar) and you need to knock about 1/3 off the torque specs, otherwise you'll snap the bolts. Stupid really, the torque spec for the oil drain plug is also dry, despite the fact it's going to be dry once in its entire life!
