The threads are most likely to be metric fine.

Most engines by now have had the original fine thread stripped, replaced with a coarse helicoil.

Other silly megatorque spanner activities are to put a bolt (the long one) through the two joined crankcase lugs and tighten until the lugs break off the casing. That needs welding, a good improvement if it gets to that stage is to add a reinforcing tube between the lugs... thankfully the material on the upper and lower cases is better than that on the sump.
