If the chain gets stuck at the bottom you can always file away the bit of casing to get it through, its a mod thats been done before.

a head gasket, you havent listed that :P

Can you re-use the head bolts? Or are they re-usable?

Yeah defo need to do that, no other way to get the base gasket on because the locating studs for the block pass through it.
