Mike, I would urge you to do this job using the official MG Rover method. It's not easy or quick but you will be able to see what you're doing with far superior access. You'll need this when fitting and setting the straight pipe serrated clips to prevent future 'O' ring seal coolant leakage.

Very good advice from xsport above noting that you'll only need one inlet manifold gasket as the RH bank manifold can remain in situ.
