not atall bad on my own i dont think
the new load leaveler worked real well in canting the engine around the gearbox mount before lifting it clear
once the bay was clear i could see some bits on the legs that needed sorting but after a poke and a scrape its all surface and treatable very easy with a sanding disc and some paint
which is Good news
