Well said, that man.
One comment on the bellypan.
I had one exactly like that, except the front section had a mesh-filled vent hole cut in it.
I found that, even with the added ventilation, the fact that the bellypan enclosed the front header pipe meant that it retained lots of heat.
Probably not a problem on the move, but stopping at traffic lights caused great waves of heat to rise off the motor.
I reckon they can contribute to overheating and I replaced mine with a short, Monza style pan, which leaves the header exposed and eliminates the problem.
Good luck with the rebuild.
I will watch with interest.
