Removed bunch of heatshields, manifold and the headshield that covers the oil return cover and oh boy! quite gunky mess down there. I'll take a day to clean up the mess and drop off the manifold to get ceramic coated.

It felt as if the manifold was not torqued - some of the bolts came off by hand :-/
