Many Thanks !!!

I inspected mine about two weeks ago while the inlet manifold and head was off it. Looks like a right shitter to do especially if it's been on there since birth and with the engine complete.

Haynes says to take the starter motor off and attack from underneath. Drain cooling system and disconnect the well bonded on hoses. Unscrew the oil filter and then the filter adapter from the centre and remove the cooler securing bolt. You'll probably need a new sealing ring to go between the cooler and engine block. Check the the filter bypass valve is clean. Stick it all back together
