My new Snapon Tech Angle torque wrench only goes down to 12.5 ft/lbs. The head gasket torque instructions have a 11 ft/lbs torquing step. Is it okay to torque to 12.5ft/ lbs. when instructions call for 11ft/lbs. Its the final step of instructions before the final 80 to 90 degree then another 80 to 90 degree tightening step.

Yes.

Any small differences would be accommodated by the final angle turns.

In addition those of us who do not have accurate wrenches are never at exactly the specified number and do not have issues.
