Objection - assumes facts (FAQs?) not in evidence

"I start to re-torque the nuts to the specified 11 ft-lbs."

Not that I'd ever go to a torque wrench for cam cover nuts, but 11 lb-ft seems like a mistake to me on any M6 fastener.

The RTFM this post suggests should include the manual on the torque wrench. They are built for a range, not just a max limit.
