Good luck mate 
Just follow the guide and take your time, keeping control of all the bits you remove.

Follow the guide as advised and you should be fine.

O/Side is the easier of the 2 so do that one first to get an idea of what is involved and how it seats etc .N/Side is best done with the cable tray fully removed and my advise would be do a few "dry runs" first with the camcover just so you get an idea of what angle/etc you need to fit cover back.If you do it with the gasket a black goo before trying your approach it will get messy and you will need to clean things up and start again.

Plenty of kitchen roll to hand to dry things and mop up old oil..also to block off inlets as dont want stray bolts dropping onto valves.

Small smear of grease on each "0" ring will hold them tight into the covers.

Possibly a small syringe and thin tube is helpfull  to suck any oil from plug wells and whilst you are i there its worth while replacing the plugs as access is much better.

Good luck...sure you will be fine

Clean the breathers at same time - critical.

Use a torque wrench on the cam covers - essential. Its doesn't matter how much of a hero you or your mate think you are, you need atorque wrench on this.
