Default 2.0ltr Zetec-E head bolt torque settings?

Please help!!!!!!

I have had to borrow the correct torx tool from work to bolt down the head on my escorts zetec and need to return it tomorrow morning. However, I have misplaced the old Mondeo haynes manual I had for it.

Can someone please dig out the torque settings/sequence for the head bolts for me so I can fit it tonight? Google is failing me and just bringing up websites trying to sell me engine parts and for some reason LCD tellys!

Cheers for any help.

Smiler.

That's brilliant, thanks a lot! Mine is the earlier Zetec-E so it's the first set of figures.

Right, I'm off to play before I run out of daylight.

Cheers,
