Upcoming lifter/oil pan/rear cover seal/engine mount etc. etc.

Great job overall.. in time that newbness wears off and you understand cutting wires is usually the last resort. All good though. Congrats on listening and pulling that rear cover off.

thanks. Yeah I think if I had pulled the wire clip off the power steering unit first I would have seen the mistake I was about to make. All's well that ends well though, overall it was fun/hugepainintheass/rewarding. Looking forward to it being easier next time.
