Sharp edges behind Bank 1 and Bank 2, M276.8 3.0TT

I guess M276.9 3.5NA would be the same..............

I got a nasty cut today at Bank 1 ( Right side bank ) rear azz. The engine block gave me its middle finger



The cylinder head gasket is on purpose having extra edges protruding out , be very careful, that is a metal thin gasket, like razor blade.
This is above the crankshaft position sensor, Bank 2, LEFT side bank. The Right side bank would have similar protrusion, be careful.



I was deep cleaning my engine rear azz, Bank 1 Right side, because I replaced the PCV system.


.




The cable clamp also is a risk for fingers.

Above cable is for connector X26 at the PCV centrifuge black plastic casing.


I do not wear glove because I can't feel the nook and cranny
I did wear my sleeve-elbow protection , but not the glove.


Stay safe...........

It hurts bad, wide cut. Worst cut to date for the session. Usually rub cut, this one is direct cut.....
Thanks for the healing wishes
