@Jack Crosby, I am not aware of the Raby cooling fan upgrade.  Can you tell me where I could find out more about it?

@James, what happened was totally unrelated to the QuickJack.  Before starting the work the car was on the QuickJack. I then raised the front slightly and put it on jack stands.  To raise the rear I used a small bottle jack placed at the end of the tunnel.  The bottle jack was now the only support at the rear.

When I was pulling the engine to the side to try to get it through the wheel opening it caught on something. This pulled the car sideways, tipping over the bottle jack and as the car rotated, the front jack stands tipped over. The rear of the car came down on the engine shroud and the front came down on the QuickJack.

The engine was tilted sideways at about a 30-degree angle. I now think my oil leak was from the disconnected valve cover vent.

I am hoping I don't have damage to the underside of the car.

I agree about Stan's writing ability.
