nat, thats about it.................
Ideally you'll need the head nut spanner, but as ever there are ways around using "special" tools
45 degree twist seems a little tight compared with the tension tool. I'd go for the 5mm deflection between the cam pulleys personally.
It makes life a lot easier if you can leave the piston in the barrel (especially if don't have a ring compressor), but if it comes out, take it off the rod, refit on the bench and refit to the rod when you put it back together. I have a ring compressor that works with piston on the rod, but it's fiddly. For the sake of a circlip it's not worth the fuss.
You won't need many parts. Head gasket, exhaust gasket, o-ring, piston circlip and some rtv.

as for "oh and if your free ill pay for your flight and beer if you come to my place and do it for me "....................... starnger things have happened
