Steel into aluminum. Be careful with things like this.
Have no data.
I would use a small hand wrench, with the fingers close to the work.
A tiny bit little past tight
Antisieze also..
Think about less than spark plug.

Spark plug torque specs on that motor is 12 -18 ft/lbs.

If you use a torque wrench, I believe 12 lbs would be good. After cleaning the threads on the release, you can also use some anti-seize compound on the threads due to differing metals.
