I need the torque settings for a Ford fiesta 1.4 2010 for the main bearings the head bolts and big ends

Here are the torque settings for a Ford Fiesta 1.4 2010 for the main bearings, head bolts, and big ends:
Main bearings
  • Main bearing caps: 1st stage - 7 Nm, 2nd stage - 16 Nm
  • Main bearing bolts: 45 Nm + 90°
Head bolts
  • Cylinders 1-3: 2nd stage - 30 Nm + 90°, 3rd stage - 80 Nm + 180°
  • Cylinder 4: 2nd stage - 25 Nm + 90°, 3rd stage - 60 Nm + 180°
Big ends

Please note that these are just the general torque settings. The exact torque settings may vary depending on the specific engine and vehicle. It is always best to consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct torque settings.
Here are some additional tips for tightening the torque settings:
  • Use a torque wrench to ensure that the bolts are tightened to the correct torque.
  • Tighten the bolts in a star pattern, working your way from the center out.
  • Do not overtighten the bolts, as this can damage the engine.
