yeah it's all pretty straight forward. I like to move the loom completelt out the way, so I unplug the o2 sensor, ic fan, ac and cat temp, then the injectors, vsv and the alternatorand and an earth. Then lift it out the way. 2 brackets under the inlet manifold holding it to the block, oh and you've got TVIS to unplug. then just a load of 12mm. You'll see

Get stuck feel free to gimme a call

the inlet manifold is a pain to get to all the underneath bolts....
mainly the support stays which are a pain.....

cam cover gasket, i would definatly go to toyota....my camskill one didnt do anything, leaked like a mofo, it was brand new....popped on a new toyota one and never had a drip since......

its more of a pain getting the IM gaskets to stay in place when your trying to get the thing back on, lol...
