Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Pull the head off a 2TM and the number you need before it goes back on is 13.5 to 14.5 kg-m on the head nuts, tightened in sequence. That figure is in this Yanmar service manual, along with main bearing torque of 19 to 21 kg-m, ring end gaps, and injector opening pressure for the 2TM, 3TM, and 4TM marine diesels.
There is rarely anyone to phone when one of these engines is in pieces on a stand. These 182 pages stand in: cylinder block, liners, pistons, crankshaft, injection pump and governor, lubrication, sea water cooling, the reduction and reversing gear (with separate procedures for the 2TM/3TM and the 4TM), electrical system, and stern bearings.
It is a bookmarked PDF, so you can jump from a symptom in the troubleshooting chapter to the spec table at the back, print the pages you need, and get the engine back together.
