Hey up bud,

Have you thought about the different locations of the oil and water lines?  Don't forget the G12 Coolant, as I assume you will have to drop the Coolant level.

I replaced the KO3 on my old MK4 and made sure I had spare exhaust manifold studs and all coolant and oil line banjo union copper seals.

Have you got a good set of Stud/nut removers should you get a sheared/rounded one?  Sounds like a good days work, hope it all goes well.
