Just take it slow, make sure you take the time to get everything out of the way, have your external torx sockets handy and go fo it.

Only issue I had was I dripped a little oil on the exhaust manifold, so there was some smoke when I fired it up but I sat there with a fire extinguisher for 5 minutes until it burned off, so get a rag on the manifold before you start.
nice job
