@DavidBarkey I don't have a machinist straight edge but according to this it's not bent.

@Eugen That is straight enough in my books.

@Spike188 We are in agreement here. 😊

Water, intake, and exhaust manifolds are in and torqued. Sometimes losing or misplacing the old nuts and bolts turns out to be a good think. They were all 3/8-16 so a visit to the local "hone deepl" as my kids say fixed that problem. All new and galvanized.

Good . the only thing that should be warped is a mechanics sense of hummer.

Just tightened the head bolts. With the engine in the tractor and the loader down the space is tight, not so easy to get leverage but eventually I found various positions for leverage. Used the adapter set at 210 ft lbs, had to go slow and pay attention to the long beep. Still the display shows peak torque at 220. Figures...

Eugen, I am impressed by the way you have modified the breakover bar to work with a crowbar. You are making so much progress.

Hehe, as much as I'd like to take credit for that, I can't. The 3/4 drive breaker bar head was on clearance at Princess Auto. When I was working on the big hydraulic cylinder I figured I could use this head with the 7ft long 1" thick bar, which I did. For smaller stuff the 3/4 bar is good enough. Some moneys was saved too by getting just the head. 🤷‍♂️
