Sitting on the fender?

Posted by sean on Friday, June 14, 2002 at 1:45AM :

I am all of 5'6" and 165 ~ 170 lbs, depending on whether or not I've shaved. Up till now, I've always worked on the engine, etc. by opening the hood and sitting on the fender - drivers or passenger side, depending on what I
m doing.

Not leaning, but resting my entire weight on it. Sat there in a sort of lotus position and removed the head to change the gasket, and then torqued the head bolts down from the same spot. I have not noticed the fenders sagging, but it was suggested to me at the Rally that this was not a good idea.

Thoughts?
