I didn't unbolt with the torque wrench. That'd screw it up pretty fast. I used the torque wrench to apply ever-so-slightly more torque. I noted where I felt the bolt move (120 lb-ft). Then I removed the bolt using a much stronger breaker bar. and re-torqued the bolts to bit below the initial torque setting (~110 lb-ft).

I realize that unlike an aluminum B230 head, the B18 is almost bullet-proof, but if spec is really 61-69 lb-ft, then these bolts were way over-torqued.
