Does anyone know the tightiening sequence and torque settings for a Nova 1.2 8v. I need to know urgently as I have the engine apart and I need the settings to reassemble it.

Any help appreciated.

Stood infront of the car looking at the engine, top 5 bolts from left to right are 8,4,1,5,9 - bottom 5 from left to right are 7,3,2,6,10

Start at number one and tighten to 25Nm(18lbf ft) then start at 1 again and turn through a further 60 degrees, then start at 1 again and repeat, then start at 1 again and repeat...

So, tighten to 25Nm then 3 x turning the bolts through 60 degrees...
