"Hello" and Welcome :)

Allow a decent amount of time .. ie .. don't get rushed !!  

Follow the guides, especially the bit about the cable tray ... use GENUINE gaskets only and the BLACK sealant exactly where the guides say :)

Clean the breathers, have a beer .. you'll deserve it . :y :y :y :y :y

Welcome Archy.  All the best with the covers.  I hate that smell of oil on the exhaust manifold.
