Plattus1000 is on a distinguished road
We'll take a break for a few hours to feed our respective kids/horse. Kids are his and his wife's, horse is my wife's other off-road vehicle. More reliable than an e53 X5 but equally a pain in the ass at times.
Here's where we're @;

Valley pan installed (URO parts version)

Heads torqued on. (as per instructions)



And here's my idea of how to achieve the 2 angle pulls at 80° (James couldn't find one of his super fancy torque wrenches with an angle dial) so... My phone has a magnetic back so I launched my protractor app, calibrated it with a real plumb bob and stuck it to the wrench. Once on, we secured it with tape and ta-da, instant fancy torque wrench.
We'll come back to the shop in about 3 hours and get good and busy. More to come!
