I seem to recall being one of those who encouraged you to attempt this, and I feel obliged to confess with hindsight that it must be easier on my car as the bolts go in from underneath into helicoils in the rods, if I remember correctly. This is one time where a deep sump can be a pain too.
Yes I think you did encourage me and thanks for that!
Re deep sump presumably you had to slacken off the engine mounting bolts and jack up the engine under the gearbox in order to accommodate the thicker flange. I have to say I inspected the journals for signs of wear but couldnt see any but I left the center main quite alone.
