I guess I'll be buying a rubber one and a torque wrench and replacing it again.

Check with the auto parts store, many of them have loaner tools.

I've never owned an inch pounds torque wrench, and you don't need one now. If you are going to redo it, take the old cover and a nut and washer, and see for yourself how much torque it takes to compress the gasket just slightly. Once you get the feel, you'll never forget it.

Dont change anything unless you find a leak. Chances are your fine, any tightening over a good "snug" is usually a bit much but doesn't necessarily mean catastrophe. If you notice a leak, I would try tighten a quarter or bit more over leak and re-evaluate.
