i think its pretty easy to be honest mate, jst get on with it. thermostat housing too.

thermostat might just be leaking from the little plug in the bottom of it though so check that first.

You'll need to drop the exhaust down too.... And you may find the sump stuck to the block, will need a bit of persuasion to get it off!
