Not in my opinion they are not. The only TTY bolts I ever messed with was on a GM. You would tighten to a set LB torque, then turn an addition degree setting.
These start out in in lbs. but end at 12 ft. lbs.
I agree on over torque. Im going back at 12 lbs. (same as before) but Im adding the sealer Mbaird suggested.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
