Does anyone else see the obvious flaw with Steve rebuilding an engine in the kitchen of his flat?

I had a 924 engine dropped off on a pallet on the drive.
That has an Iron block
And it was full of oil
And it had full inlet manifold and iron exhaust on it.
Even in bits I struggled to move it
Its still at the back of the drive under an old water tank...
Yes I can see a slight flaw...

Sure thing. I need to swap blocks across next weekend & buy an engine stand, but you're welcome anytime. Will give you a bell when i'm starting to tear it down
