I remember being told along time ago a pilot working for an AOC opearator could not be a certifying engineer on the same AOC aircraft.
Is this correct if so any idea where it is written in the regulations.

No,
Part M specifically allows for the even an ordinary non-engineer pilot to certify some limited repetitive maintenance if he is trained and signed up under the company quality programme.
It will be a case of discussing it with your CAA engineering inspector and getting it written into your CAME. Remember that there are several other rules that an engineer has to have recent experience on type etc to sign off work.
ETOPS is different and you will have to research the specifics on this.
