Just wanted to add my .02 on this job. The starter bump with a 3/4 breaker bar and socket worked like a charm as did using a 14 mm impact socket on the flywheel to tighten the crank bolt. That crank bolt is huge at 31 mm in diameter (shown next to a 8 mm bolt)!
I removed most of the oil pump cover screws with a Milwaukee M12 impact driver. It worked really well. One screw was being stubborn and I hammered in a PH3 bit and used an 18" long breaker bar to back it out. There is a lot of room between the oil pump cover and radiator to swing a hammer. The breaker bar worked well and I wouldn't buy a compact impact driver just for this job, but it is a great tool to have.
My cover needed a little lapping. I used 400, 1000 and 1500 grit paper. I should have spent more time on 400 ( or even 320) before moving up in grit. I used new torx drive flat head screws from 1fzfephh.com and a Wiha torque screwdriver to torque each screw to 50 inch pounds (max setting on driver). I don't think I could have turned the driver much more, but I would have run them to 60 or 70 inch pounds if I could. I also added a little blue loctite to each screw for extra insurance.
My largest torque wrench only goes to 250 ft lbs. so I made up a 14 inch extension at a friends shop. I still had to set the wrench to 192 ft lbs. I should have made an 18 inch or longer extension, but it still worked out fine.
