19 lbs is as low as the torque wrench goes.It clicks..It must be higher on the head gasket than that.
Hummm

Get a inch lb wrench and torque it in 3 steps....

Borrow from some one else.
​Auto Zone or one of those places might loan a T wrench.
I have one that does 5# to 70 and one from 30-240
It's set at 15# then 18# and finally 20#
You torque it 3 times.
