Not a fun time, smashed and scraped hands from trying to remove the allen head bolts in the crankshaft pulley, got 3 loose, last one has rounded, almost impossible to get to, no joy with mole grips.
Gonna try cutting a slot in it tomorrow with a dremel.
The head is still on there at the mo, did notice a small bit of gasket that looked as though it was bulging out on the front corner, probably the source of the leak.
Some of the manifold lugs into the head came out with the bolt (instead of the bolt unscrewing and leaving the threaded lug in place) I assume it would be ok to replace these with some short lengths of studding?
Other issue was that I took the camshaft, sprocket and plastic cambelt cover all off in one go, but I need the sprocket off to change the oil seal, would I be ok to put the sprocket in a vice, (with woodblocks to protect it) and take the sprocket bolt off that way, instead of being still in the head, as the book suggests?
