When I installed my last set of plugs 20ftlb seemed like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. The NGK plugs I just installed said 1/2 to 2/3 turn after the washer contacts the head.
Couple months without a problem, I knew that was a good stretch.. lol (Coil time?)

Finished this last night. Car runs amazingly. Literally feels like I've gained 40-50hp. After gap checking some of the old plugs and having some readings exceeding 2mm.. I suppose that these new coils and plugs were a good addition.
Had a little oil in two of the plug wells, the rear two on passenger side(nothing terrible). Also came to find that the rear two coils on the passenger and driver side were older yellow print coils. And the front two coils on both passenger and driver sides were newer all black coils, the same model as I replaced them with.
Also.. That driver side bottom rear bolt for the cover... What a pain in the ass. Had to rig a channel lock wrench to a 7mm socket. Left that bolt off. Anyhow thanks for all the help everyone, God bless.

I used a mini 7mm ratchet wrench... took a while, but it wasn't bad.

A little oil in the well is not worth the trouble of replacing the gaskets. You'll be fine in my opinion.
I started with that. After spending weeks getting that bolt off then on I graduated to a 7mm swivel socket! That socket also helps with the same bolt on the passenger side.
