Looks pretty similar in design to the old VW engines. Does it run cylinder head temps sensors just to keep an eye on head temps?

Yes a 6 point CHT/EGT and a single point CHT/EGT as a back up.
All engines have at least a single point. You adjust the mixture to bring temps to desired range.
Full rich on take-off and then lean it out in-flight to conserve fuel. You dont like burning 18GPH if you can help it.
And yes the old VW and I think the boxer ( never seen one) are similar. 2 part case. Pain to split and reassemble.
This is only a top end job. But we have another engine coming in this coming week that will need a full rebuild. Its on a pallet thakfully.

Woke up yesterday feeling like crap. Think I got a sinus infection. Came into work and been here all day. My advisor is like, "I've been bringing in vehicles all day for you to help you make hours. The least you can do is have some motivation". I went off on him. Everyone else noticed I looked bad, but apparently he did not see that at all. Guess he also missed that I had like 30 paper towels in my pockets most of the day to help blow my nose.
If you ever need an example of toxic management, look no further.

That's the worst man. Hope you feel better. My wife just went through this crap as well, but she was able to work from home last week. My work is the same way, bring your sick *** to work and get everyone else sick. My old man has the same crap right now. I've managed to avoid it somehow, and always get it before everyone else. God willing, the grind still goes on for us men. Keep your head up and your nose to the grind. Things will get better you bro!

Called in today. I try not to make it into a habit of calling in. Checked my temp last night and it was 101.4⁰F. Checked it this morning and it was 100.4⁰F. Just a bit fatigued and didn't sleep well again. Kept needing to blow my nose every so often just to breathe a bit easier. Will see a doctor later this morning to see if I can get something for this fever and sinus infection.
