head torque settings for ford KA?

does anyone know the torque settings and tightening sequence for a cylinder head on a 1996/P reg Ford KA endura engine

The bolts stretch when they are torqued up, so if you re-use them the bolts will be slightly longer and the head will not be correctly down onto the block
