I actually ended up checking the torque three times. I believe the Permatex Permashield recommends re-checking the torque. I figure I'm not going to spend all those hours doing the repair and short change a critical part of the process by skipping torquing the bolts properly. Plus, the hard part is figuring out how to get to all those bolts. Once you've done that, it's easy to re-check. I think I mentioned that I was able to get to most of the bolts by simply reaching back over the front of the dropped subframe. The remaining few I could get to from directly beneath the back of the pan.
