No. Im pretty sure that 15 is way too low. Pedros write up has the torque specs for the studs. They are pretty high, in the 30 to 40 ft-lbs if i remember. If you dont torque them to the right spec, they will pull out when you put the nuts on them and you will be in a world of ******************** trying to get a a helicoil in there. Be warned.
