Take your time, spend some cosy evenings with your Haynes manual by the fire (in the spaces between marking and lesson prep!), and wait until you feel up for it before breaking the spanners out. You don't have to fix Genevieve in order to be able to get to work the following day, so you can do the job at a steady pace, taking the time it takes, and stopping to figure things out when you get stuck. Might be better to wait to order bits until you've done some dismantling and know exactly what you need. By the way, it would be a great time to renew your cambelt and maybe the tensioner.
Cambelts: I'd never done a cambelt until I did one, and I'd never done a head gasket until I did one.
I admit I haven't attempted a cambelt on a twin-cam transverse engine...!
