Narrative

EE was replacing head gaskets on 100 ton truck. After changing head gaskets, mechanic was in the process of bolting on the intake runners. To access the intake runners, the mechanic placed his left foot on the back motor mount. The mount still had the motor mount in place. The cap turned, causing the EE to fall approx 18"". This caused a hairline fracture to the metatarsil bone.
