The above pays dividends as it stops the customer bring the vehicle back saying "I've got oil on my block paving who do I give the cleaning bill too"!

Thanks John. Well since ive got the oil out of the casting webs yesterday lunch time it hasnt come back. Theres still residue which I will try to clean tomorrow.
I did think maybe its just in my head but my girlfriend said she could smell it today.
Either way I will do as you said and give it a massive clean tomorrow.
I wont bother removing the hpfp when I replace the valve cover gasket tomorrow, unless im forgetting something and need to....?

Forgive the girl friend, she would say she's seen little green men under the hood if it stopped you talking about the car!
I wouldn't be in a hurry to do the gasket till I had the vacuum pump and just enjoy the driving and running around in the car.
I would want to do both jobs when the vehicle was stone cold, first thing in the morning when the oil has all drained back to the sump - less cleaning and a easier life.
Pesky jones:
Haha that is too true. Your're very good at understanding situations without physical presence doylebros. Probably a big factor in helping me throughout the thread :congrats:
Ok, as eager as I am to have it all done, that does make sense and I will do that.
