I wouldn't go past the yield strength of the bolt. Is your gasket o.k. in that location? That fitting area shouldn't require a huge amount of torque if the embossed gasket seal is in good condition. Be careful! Is it possible the oil cooler fitting surface isn't true? How about doubling gaskets to ensure you are getting a tight seal? Did you consider putting a small washer under each bolt head to ensure you aren't bottoming out in the hole before peak torque is reached?
