This about sums it up
I had to take my reg out and verify... yup, it is one "oomph", but YMMV.Thanks for all the humorous advice!
I set my internal torque wrench to "one umph short of a grunt" and tightened away. The empirical evidence is that I didn't have any leaks on my dives (at least in the short term). To check, I pressurized the system, turned the air off and let the tank/reg sit for a while. The reading on the SPG didn't change over that interval.
Got to do 5 dives this weekend on the wrecks in the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and didn't have any problems. Wrecks were great and everyone came back safe.
