Nah, a bit of semi synth is what I use

Yep

Manifold to front pipe gaskets (2 copper flake type seals)
Oil cooler sealent (grey goo in a small cartridge tube)
Anti freeze
Oil
Oil Filter


Get a couple of spare hollow bolts from a breaker for the oil cooler pipes/coolant bridge pipes (never needed any yet but, you dont want to get caught wanting)

Oil cooler pipes to cooler metal washers (4 off)
Coolant bridge dowty washers (4 off)
Coolant pipe to block seal (1 off)

Is the crank seal ok? (any sign of oil round the oil pump)

If I remember, I will post the above part numbers up this evening

Then its cleaning stuff.

Emery cloth

Plenty of old cloths and rags.
