Hi Sean welcome to the forum. It's not a difficult job if you have the tools, a place to work and the ability to do it. Where are you located ?

Good Evening,

And Thankyou, have this week free, tidy garage, then crack on with it

No real problems with the M44 just make sure the cams are locked in place so no issues with timing when you put it back together.
Would change water pump and thermostat whilst you have it stripped down, also change head bolts as these are stretch bolts and not really re usable.
