The 3.0L can be done body on.. But that'll depend on the mech.

Yep, 2.7 a relative doddle body on, the 3.0 is also harder due to the pipework that has to be moved back to get the cover off.

None of the other Mechs over 35 in the workshops around here want to do another 3.0L after they've done one body on due to the loss of skin and body bruising etc, and I'm well over that in both age and patience for bad design.

Literally 15 minutes with body off, done it both ways. 2.7 and 3.0

Keep it, Alan. You'll regret it if you don't, and not just because you'll **** off the cook.
