Just wanted to share some recent events
My Pinz didn't pass the annual technical inspection; oil leaking from several places.
First I built an engine stand from a central tube a mate had lying in his shed
enjoyed the sunshine and broke down the engine.
the leaks were caused by broken O-rings at the oil return pipes and brittle rubber seals at the push rod pipes.
When I replaced the oil pan gasket I swapped the 8.8 quality hex bolts for 10.9. Gaskets at oil intake and filter flange also came new
A ratchet belt is helpful for mounting cylinder heads alone.
Now the motor is running in the testbed and will be reinstalled this weekend

Looks like a job very well done. Thanks for the ratchet strap idea. I'll make use of that one.

That didn't even sound very loud without the muffler!

The engine has returned into the truck and has ceased marking its territory.
MOT is scheduled for Wednesday. Fingers crossed I'll be back on the road then...
