I have a single cylinder yanmar diesel with aluminum block and head with copper bore gasket, 4 bolts 10x1mm thread I can't find the exact engine manual I know the torque pattern, for a single 4 bolt it's stupid easy. But I don't know the torque, I'm thinking based on other engines do about 85nM or about 63 foot pounds. Probably in 3 steps, 1/3 torque, then 2/3 and 3Rd step go full torque. It's not like I'll get out of order or I'm worried it will take too long.
How's that sound?

Sounds good to me, as the bolts are 55ft lbs to 75ft lbs
