Find a standard torque chart for that sized bolt...... that will be it. Retightening should not be necessary since it is a silicone sealant gasket........ unless someone put a composite gasket in there.

Since you are using the Geman method my book shows:
9 Neuton Meters for 1/4"-20 bolts
19 Neuton Meters for 5/16"-18 bolts
32 Neuton Meters for 3/8"-16 bolts
LOL!
Actually the Ft.lbs RCrawler gave are the same thing I have.
