Just taken my head off, I've made all the tools needed, much cheaper than buying them

not too bad of a job, not the easiest I've done either

No must say a Suffolk punch head is a lot easier. Pretty straight forwards as far as heads go. Have done many heads on many various vehicles so just another day in the office as far as i am concerned. Pretty simple.

I was meaning for us "non" mechanics? we only do it when things go wrong, not day in day out
lol ok a lawn mower engine or compressor head is about as simple as they get, but I was meaning it's not quite as easy as say an A-Series in a mini or a Spitfire 1500 with nothing in the way, you can just sit on the front wheel and work away

Yep, A series decoke and valve job was a pleasant Saturday mornings work.
Because if you look at your radiator you may notice both pipes go in at the top. Coolant goes in at the R/H side looking at car from front. And exits from L/H side. There is a baffle plate midway along the top tank that diverts coolant down the R/H side and up the L/H side. If that is missing coolant flows straight across the top and not through the rad.
I know you've explained before wammers but I can't seem to understand it, how do I release tension to get the belt back on the water pump? I got it off by chance/force lol.. won't go back on that way
Is the bit circled in red here for releasing tension? As I can see it can slacken the belt a bit but won't budge enough:
