i've just done this and no problems with the bolts.
i use plasplugs release oil, must admit i haven't found dw40 very
succesful but could be just personal preference.
if you really want to be carefull, spray one every hour for a day,
and in the sparkplug chambers, and any other bolts.
all mine came out OK, couple of plugs broke the ceramic part but the
rest ok.
i bought sink plugs (29p from wilkinsons)to plug the air intake
holes...worked a treat.
then cleaned the valley with meths, panel wip and acetone, then used
frost.co.uk metal ready, then engine laquer, EP services in
wolverhampton will recon your pump, lifetime guarantee mine was £55,
they do lots of classics.
make sure you order a full o ring kit, and bets to order all bolts
for y pipe/manifold etc.
also while you are there you may need to replce your water pipe
(mine was shot) and all pipework under there.
i also replaced my y pipe sensors.
i removed the fuel pipes at the distributor but then also took out
the injectors to test.
keep plenty of rags handy and an extinguisher, and depressurise by
cranking without the rpm relay plugged in.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Steve
