That's about the only place I'd use a torque wrench on a Model A, but when I was 12 I removed the head from my 1950 Studebaker field car (no body) so I could paint it silver. I reinstalled the head with the old head gasket and no torque wrench and never had a problem. I believe the compression ratio on that engine was 6.5:1.
