Thanks Foo, I am right in the thick of it at the moment, it's been a total of 5 hours and I have managed to get the intake manifold off, get the MAF and Throttle cleaned. The intake was a pain in the royal arse for me, one of the bolts was absolutely rusted out due to coolant leak I had a while ago and the one in the back got some choice words out of me for the Ford engineers. Three cuts so far and no blood drawn and two T30 bits destroyed. I need to look up ways to clean the inlet ports (there is a lot of oil residue all the way in that I can see) or should I just worry about gasket mating surfaces and seafoam the system at some time? I am afraid to put something in there, intentional or otherwise.
