that's typically the rule of thumb. anyone know the exact torque setting so we can guesstimate?

I'd say just go buy a torque wrench. I've guessed on how tight to make them lots of times before, but all it takes is a little bit of turning too far and you can really damage your head. Shell out the $15 and do it right

Usually I tighten the spark plugs hand tight.
