Default How important is a torque wrench?

I am changing the gaskets on my valve cover and oil filter housing this weekend and the DIYs call for the bolts to be torqued to a certain spec. I leant my torque wrench to a friend a while ago and never saw it again and I dont really feel like going out and buying another one. Can I get away with just tightening the bolts that hold on the valve cover without torquing them?
