Torque the O2 until it's a little past tight , I think the real torque rating is aroudn 40, you may want to use anti-seeze on the threads, I always do and it pays off when you have to take them out.

Well said, anti-seize will make things easier, and don't worry about torque on the o2. A little past tight is fine, there is no way the exhaust could loosen it.
