We use an engine crane to raise and lower the head assemblies. They're quite heavy and awkward, especially when you’re trying to lower them gently into position.

Unbolt the oil drain from the turbos rather than pulling the rubber hose off the sump.

On a RHD auto, you need to remove the right dump pipe from the turbo to clear steering and transmission dip stick.

Need to loosen the dip stick from it’s seat in the block before lifting left head, haven’t found a good way of doing that yet.

Good luck,
Ian

Cheers,
Ian
