Well, I've come to a stopping point. I've got the van back together,
serviced and ready to go. I will start it tomorrow and ckeck for leaks
above and below, and if all is well, I shall then put the pushrod shield
back in place.

Given I had apparently been running for some time with that anchor stud
broken, I decided to leave it as is, and drive it to the local garage for
repair. I haven't  the skill, the tools,  or equipment to replace that
stud.

Thats the story to date!
