Asa,
Here is are my guesses:
Mt and Nm are part identifiers of some type and not units of torque.
Unfortunately Nm is also the abbreviation for Newton-Meters which is a unit
of torque. kpm is also a unit of torque with 0.102 kpm equal to 1 Nm. Nm =
14.6 -16.6 kpm by itself is meaningless.
So, my guess, the Mt bolts are to be torqued to 1.5-1.7 kpm (10.85-12.29
lb-ft) and the Nm bolts are to be torqued to 14.6-16.6 kpm (105.6-120.1 lb-ft).
100 ft-lbs is the sort of torque used on head bolts and such.
12 ft-lbs sounds about right for the cover bolts which are threaded into
aluminum. 120 ft-lbs sounds high to me for the side bolts, but that IS German
steel.
Be sure you have the ears of the side covers thru which the side bolts pass
shimmed so there is no gap. The cross bolts can bend/break those ears.
Have fun,
