When you re-seal, make sure you use the Green viton o-rings, Brown Oil Pump O-rings, and the Black Brown Flywheel and Nose Seals or simply buy the Wrightwood Racing Package via our host. On that note, when you split the case, look at the o-ring closely at the #8 to see if it got pinched and before you remove the perimeter nuts near the #8 and IMS, check the torque spec with a dependable torque wrench.

I like to use a weight and fine tune the wrench if it is adjustable.

Break a leg brother!

Thanks for the advice. I've rung the machine shop that specialises in these engines and they've confirmed I can just walk in with the parts and a list of checks.
