Sorry for another question, I want to remove the round bolt on timing case cover (what is this for?) and the water pump cover for re-painting. If I remove these will I need any new gaskets and will any fluids come out if I do, or is it just a case of remove and put back when finished?
Many thanks.

Well, the large "plug" in the timing case cover is an access hole/mount for a timing chain tool when removing the cams and still being able to leave the timing cover mounted.

As far as removing the covers, you may have a little bit of residual oil drip out when you remove the timing chain cover. Sealing it is only with RTV gasket sealer. No other gasket.
You will also have to deal with the HES sensor wiring that is mounted in the cover. The small "T" shaped HES timing cover does use a cork gasket.

For the water/oil pump, you will need to drain the water. There is either a drain plug, or a water temp sensor on the bottom of the pump. There are 2 plugs or sensors on the under side. The forward is in the water side, the rearward is in the oil side.
To seal the cover back is also with RTV as well.
