    I was curious, not sure I read over it, and I am almost sure you did this, but did you check the valve measurements, cam shafts outs etc?

    There seems to be a an oil lubrication in the head on the side of the rotors. The first lubrication from the rotor side is drilled in an angle instead of strait down. Did you do this mod as well?

    I just recently came to know this from a F friend who brought his F in for a full service at the F dealer. They corrected this mistake. All engine (heads) have this and was after a long time corrected in the 348.

    No I haven't checked that - the heads were off 10 years ago and it ran fine since.
    I did drill the oil drain for the second gear hydraulic lock issue and that does solve the problem.

    No, I indicated the missing numbers and added the red zones (not good), green zones (good), amber zones (watch out) and in blue/green the lines for the oil pressure limits. Just for reference in case you were wondering what those lines mean on the instruments in relationship to the limits.

    With the wiring installed and connected in the trunk the repaired trim can be refitted. First to go in is the vertical heat shield towards the firewall, screwed at the bottom and pop riveted along the top:
