Nice write up, only thing i would add having done this myself before this guide existed is that it’s better to use a large flathead screw driver on the oil galley fasteners as i tried using the exact size phillips that fit snug into the fasteners and because the metal was so soft it still started stripping away at the fastener when trying to turn it. Also, take care not to seal off the chambers on the front timing cover that provide a drain channel for the water pump. Some knucklehead had sealed off mine previously before i opened it up.....oh and oddly enough I didn’t have to use a gear puller on my crank pulley, most likely cause i had soaked the whole pulley in pb blaster overnight lol
