Default How tight to make oil jets in block?

Hey I couldn't find a torque setting but also don't want to have them come loose in the block as I just built a $5,000 motor... Just hand tight?

well its in my ITR block...the stock oil squirters. I don't really wanna do the block off kit and I already have 2 new jets on the way (2 broke). I guess I will use locktite and hand tighten because most torque wrenches don't click at such low torque settings....

My inch pound wrench maxes out at 20#s.But hand tight with a little locktite will do the job.
