KH crank bolts

Some people Loctite their crank bolts...but I've never needed to. You
should be torquing them down pretty hard. I'd say about 40 ft*lbs...but
I'm not completely sure.

35-40ftlbs is about right.

you could make sure that there is grease on your crank arm bolt too,
just to be on the safer side of things...

Don't worry about a torque wrench.

Do worry about dry threads. You'll be able to tighten the bolt better
if you lube the bolt. You can use anti-sieze or loctite... the
advantage with loctite is that the bolt will stay in place a bit
longer.

Use the blue (medium strength) formula of loctite and you'll be good to
go for a while.
